Kris Barras Band announce new album ‘Monsters We Made’
KRIS BARRAS BAND have announced a brand new album!
The Devon-based hard rock outfit have confirmed that Monsters We Made will be released on August 14th, 2026 via Earache Records. The record serves as the follow-up to their 2024 album Halo Effect.
The upcoming album represents a creative reset for the band. With guitarist/keyboardist Josiah Manning handling production duties, KRIS BARRAS BAND set out to craft a record built on big singalongs, big riffs and big solos, leaning fully into arena-ready hard rock while embracing the band’s anthemic instincts.
Following the release of lead single All Falls Down, the band have now shared a brand new music video for new single Riot Of One, offering another glimpse into the sound and vision of the upcoming album.
Commenting on the new single, frontman/guitarist Kris Barras says, “obviously I have leaned fully into the fighting theme with this one, with the video shot in an MMA cage! However, the song is about more than that. It’s about feeling like it’s you against the world and saying ‘bring it on’. When life isn’t going your way and it feels like everyone and everything is pushing you down, it’s about standing up and fighting back. The song started life as a riff/musical idea that Josiah had. He sent it over to me with the directions ‘turn this into a big singalong’. It actually took quite a while to come to life. Then one day whilst driving down to his studio, I came up with the chorus idea, pulled over and recorded a voice note so I wouldn’t forget it!”
