Evan Stanley and Nick Simmons, the sons of KISS stars Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, are set to release their debut studio album, Dancing While the World Is Ending, on Aug. 28. The duo, performing under the name Stanley Simmons, has been building momentum with recent singles such as “Body Down” and the title track.
The pair officially announced the news via Instagram, revealing that the 12-song collection will be accompanied by a third single, “Temporary Love,” arriving on May 8. “It’s the first song Nick and I ever wrote together,” Stanley noted.
The project began in early 2025 as an informal recording session that quickly evolved into a full-length album. Beyond their original material, the duo has gained a significant following on social media by showcasing their vocal harmonies through covers of classic tracks by artists like Simon and Garfunkel and the Eagles.
Stanley Simmons is also preparing for their first-ever live tour, which kicks off on May 4 in San Diego and concludes on May 13 in Ventura. Dancing While the World Is Ending is currently available for pre-order.
