Kris Barras Band Share Piano Version of New ‘Landslide’ Single
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, set for release on April 12, 2024, via independent label Earache Records.
Fans got a first taste of what Halo Effect has in store with lead single, "Unbreakable." The band then came out swinging in 2024 with album-opening new single, "Hourglass."
Defiantly not a one trick pony, today KRIS BARRAS BAND share a special version of new single "Landslide", performed on piano.
Watch the video here.
"Landslide (Piano Version)" is included on a newly announced, indie store CD edition of the album, Halo Effect - Piano & Acoustic Edition, which includes alternative artwork alongside 5 bonus acoustic and piano versions of album tracks. See full track listing below.
Frontman Kris Barras interjects,
Anyone that has followed us for a few years, will know that I’ve always liked doing unplugged versions of our songs, whether it’s acoustic or piano versions.
When choosing which tracks to do for the piano versions, Landslide felt perfect from the first play through. It’s perhaps one of the more obvious choices, as in an album full of generally heavier tracks, Landslide probably falls closest to what could be considered a ballad.
The song is about always coming up short in a relationship and almost being self destructive in that situation. You realise your mistakes but struggle to make amends due to being your own worst enemy."
This edition is only available from a limited number of outlets hosting intimate in-store events with KRIS BARRAS BAND, where Kris and Josiah from the band will do a short acoustic set and meet fans for autographs and photos.
