Devon-based hard rock heavyweights KRIS BARRAS BAND have shared the music video for their upcoming album’s title track ‘Monsters We Made‘, which tackles the subject of mental demons and personal struggles and is available to view now. The band’s upcoming new full-length album “Monsters We Made” will be available 14th August via Earache Records, and sees KBB return to his hard-rocking, guitar-squealing, groovy blues roots whilst maintaining the arena-level choruses that are impossible to not sing along to in a live setting.
On the new single, frontman and guitarist Kris Barras shares:
“It was great to see people’s reaction to this track when we played it on the Smith/Kotzen tour earlier this year, as people were singing along by the time it hit the last chorus. That’s always a good sign!
He continues:
‘Monsters We Made’ is about being responsible for the things which end up dragging you down. Kind of like being your own worst enemy. Not just in an individual way either, it can be in a relationship and those little things that keep building up, eventually creating a monster. I went to town on the solo section, flipping the song on it’s head with a bit of breakdown. It’s one of my favourite solos on the album.”

In the wake of the in-store signing sessions, KRIS BARRAS BAND will embark on their first UK tour in almost two years, marking a strong comeback for KBB. They will be joined on the Monsters We Made tour by special guests 10 Years. The Knoxville, Tennessee natives’ trademark melodic alternative metal has dominated US rock radio for decades. Last seen in the UK with Three Days Grace in 2022, 10 Years are currently touring the US with Mammoth, before heading to Europe with Black Stone Cherry and then the UK with KRIS BARRAS BAND. If you’re not familiar with 10 Years yet, check out their YouTube here and be sure to show up early for the UK dates!
On the touring announcement news, Kris says:
“We are absolutely honoured to have 10 Years out with us on this run, great band, amazing songs, you are all in for a treat”.
