Next generation rock: sons of Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons join forces in the studio

Author Benedetta Baldin - 27.2.2025

It appears that the sons of Kiss icons Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley recorded ten songs together. Using recording equipment, Evan Stanley and Nick Simmons recently posted pictures of themselves with the statement, “One song turned into 10 real quick.” They performed an unidentified original song with guitarist Jacob Bunton in their subsequent post. Paul, Evan’s father, immediately proclaimed the video “magic!!!” Nick’s sister Sophie added, “We want the album.” A video footage of the pair performing Simon and Garfunkel‘s “The Sound of Silence” live was posted on Instagram last December, and the older Simmons called it “amazing.” The last leg on Kiss‘s farewell tour, End of the Road, was opened by Evan Stanley’s band Amber Wild. Both “Carnival of Souls” from his father’s 2004 album “Asshole” and “Hand of the King” from former Kiss guitarist Bruce Kulick’s 2010 album BK3 featured Nick Simmons’ vocals.
