A new rock legacy is taking shape as STANLEY SIMMONS — the collaborative project of Evan Stanley (son of Paul Stanley) and Nick Simmons (son of Gene Simmons) — have released the official video for their second single, “Dancing While The World Is Ending.”
Directed by Mitchell Richmond, the video continues to build momentum for the duo, whose musical chemistry first sparked in late 2024 during a spontaneous Instagram session. What began as a casual collaboration quickly evolved into a full-fledged project centered on organic songwriting, rich harmonies, and emotional depth.
Their debut single “Body Down” introduced a sound far removed from the arena rock legacy of KISS, leaning instead into Americana, folk, and classic rock influences. The project has already drawn the attention of acclaimed producer Rob Cavallo, who is producing their upcoming full-length album.
While their last names carry rock history, STANLEY SIMMONS is carving out its own identity — proving that chemistry, not legacy, is what truly connects with listeners.
