“The best live band in the UK right now”
Bernard Doherty - Planet Rock.
One of modern hard rock's most exciting breakouts in recent years, Kris Barras Band are bringing all-new arena-sized grit to 2024 with their new album 'Halo Effect'. Amplifying the heavier sound from their previous album 'Death Valley Paradise' (which landed a Top 30 spot in the UK Album Chart and saw four tracks added to Planet Rock's A-list playlist), 'Halo Effect' delivers hard-hitting riffs, captivating choruses that soar and fuse-lighting technical solos.
After an almost-unbelievable career change from pro-MMA fighter of ten years to professional musician, Barras cut his teeth in the international blues rock scene culminating in a frontman spot with supergroup Supersonic Blues Machine (featuring ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons). In the meantime, Kris Barras Band gravitated to a heavier sound that has sold-out tours with Black Stone Cherry, The Darkness and Thunder at the likes of the Royal Albert Hall and Wembley Arena.
