NEW ALBUM “MONSTERS WE MADE” AVAILABLE 14TH AUGUST 2026
AUGUST IN-STORE SESSIONS | OCTOBER UK HEADLINE TOUR
Devon-based hard rock heavyweights KRIS BARRAS BAND have shared the music video for their upcoming album’s latest single, ‘Beautiful Lie‘, available to view now. The band’s imminent 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 and video, which was produced by Tommy Rowe of Rowe Films, frontman and guitarist Kris Barras shares:
“‘Beautiful Lie’ is one of my favourite songs to sing from the new album. It’s one of those songs I’ll just find myself randomly humming around the house. It’s a song about being betrayed, and about being lied to. A lie so good that you almost have to admire how they pulled it off!”

Following shortly after 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”.
