In March 2025, Hollow Souls came out swinging with their breakout debut single “Borderline,” and announced a 20-date Oct/Nov 2025 UK Tour. The upbeat blues rock anthem showcased the awesome pipes of former Kris Barras Band backing singer Phoebe Jane.
This time around, “Shotgun” sees Phoebe providing soulful backing vocals to Monster Truck frontman Jon ‘Marv’ Harvey who collaborated with Kris and producer Josiah Manning remotely after a long-term friendship based on mutual musical respect.
“We’ve been talking about writing a song with Marv for a long time,” says Kris. Josiah and I had a riff we laid down at Momentum Studios. We instantly knew this one would be perfect for Marv, so we fired it over to him. What he sent back blew us both away. The explosiveness of his vocal and Marv’s amazing storytelling. We couldn’t ask for a better collaborator. I hope we perform it live together one day!”
Jon ‘Marv Harvey’, who wrote the lyrics and melody over Kris and Josiah’s stomping blues rock guitar riffs, tells a gritty story of a bar fight with his customary gravelly drawl. Having collaborated with U.S. guitar hero Jared James Nichols on the first single “Borderline,” Kris switches to lead guitar on “Shotgun” and delivers a fiery solo that demonstrates his inimitable style of hard rock shredding with bluesy phrasing. “Borderline” is available on all streaming platforms HERE.
“Shotgun” is released ahead of Hollow Souls’ 20-date Oct/Nov 2025 UK Tour. Tickets are available from thegigcartel.com.
