Sons of KISS’ Stanley and Simmons Reveal Debut Album Details

Evan Stanley and Nick Simmons, the sons of KISS stars Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, have officially announced the details for their debut studio album. Titled Dancing While the World Is Ending, the 12-song collection is scheduled for release on Aug. 28.

The duo, performing under the moniker Stanley Simmons, has been building momentum in recent months with the release of singles such as “Body Down” and the album’s title track. They shared the news of the upcoming record via Instagram on Wednesday, providing fans with a first look at the cover art and the full track listing.

In addition to the album announcement, the pair revealed that a new single, “Temporary Love,” is slated for release on Friday, May 8. “It’s the first song Nick and I ever wrote together,” Stanley noted.

The project began in early 2025, when what was initially intended to be a one-off recording session quickly evolved into a full-length album. The duo has frequently showcased their vocal chemistry on social media, sharing covers of classic tracks by artists such as Simon and Garfunkel and the Eagles.

Stanley Simmons is also preparing for their first-ever live performances. The tour is set to begin on May 4 in San Diego and will conclude on May 13 in Ventura. Dancing While the World Is Ending is currently available for pre-order.
