One of modern hard rock's most exciting breakouts in recent year, Kris Barras Band brought all-new arena-sized grit with their latest album 'Halo Effect'. The album reached UK top 5 spot alongside Beyonce and Linkin Park whilst topping the official UK Rock/Metal, Independent AND Download charts! Amplifying the heavier sound from their previous album 'Death Valley Paradise' (which alone had ALL 4 singles A-listed at Planet Rock radio), 'Halo Effect' delivers hard-hitting riffs, captivating choruses that soar and fuse-lighting technical solos.

Signed to legendary independent label Earache Records, Kris Barras Band harness the twilight-lit melodies and stampeding force beloved by fans of Architects, Shinedown and Alter Bridge. Barras is joined in Kris Barras Band by fellow native sons of Devon; Manning on guitar, Billy Hammett on drums and latest member Frazer Kerslake on bass. In early 2026, Kris and co embark on a lengthy tour of Europe supporting Adrian Smith (Iron Maiden) and Richie Kotzen (Poison/Mr Big/Winery Dogs) with their incredible new hard rock-duo Smith/Kotzen.
