What’s occurring in the KISS camp, mun? Well, the next generation of face-paint royalty has just dropped a bombshell – Paul Stanley’s son Evan Stanley and Gene Simmons’ son Nick Simmons have been in the studio together, and they’ve apparently recorded a whole album’s worth of tracks. 🎸🥁

That’s right: the Starchild’s heir and the Demon’s offspring are cranking out tunes side by side. And while no official project name has been revealed yet, fans are already whispering: is this KISS Mark II? 👀

The Sons of KISS Take the Stage 🎤

  • Evan Stanley already fronts his own band Amber Wild, who recently snagged opening slots on KISS’ End of the Road tour. The lad’s got riffs, stage presence, and clearly isn’t afraid of the family business.
  • Nick Simmons, meanwhile, has kept a lower profile musically but has a wicked way with words, having written, rapped, and dabbled in creative projects outside the KISS bubble.

Put the two together and you’ve basically got rock ‘n’ roll royalty with a modern twist. 🖤⚡

Not Your Dad’s 70s Glam Show 👢💄

Now before you dust off your 7-inch platforms and break out the black-and-silver face paint, let’s be clear – this isn’t just a KISS tribute with family perks. The vibe is rumoured to be modern rock with swaggering hooks and fresh energy, not a straight-up clone of the 70s stadium stompers.

That said, can you imagine a guest appearance? Paul strutting out for a chorus, Gene spitting blood one last time while the boys hammer the encore? Absolute scenes, mun. 🤯🔥

Will the Dynasty Continue? 🦇👑

KISS always said they wanted the brand to live beyond the original four, and while talk of “replacements” has split the fanbase harder than a dodgy pyro cue, this feels different. This isn’t a corporate decision – it’s the sons carrying the torch (and maybe a few fire-breathing tricks).

Could they headline their own arena shows? Maybe. Could they pop up at Download, Rock Am Ring, or even Steelhouse for a cheeky “Sons of KISS” set? Stranger things have happened. (Remember when Gene tried to trademark the devil horns? Only in KISS land, mun. 😅)

What We’re Asking… 🤔

So, the million-dollar questions:

  • Band name? “KISS 2.0”? “House of Simmons & Stanley”? “Amber Wild ft. Nick Simmons”?
  • Style? Hard rock stompers, radio-friendly bangers, or a full-on glam revival?
  • Legacy? Will they be free to create their own path, or will Dad’s shadow loom over every track?

Whatever happens, this is a proper job bit of rock gossip that could actually turn into something massive. Keep your ears peeled – because if this hits stages, the KISS Army will be front row faster than you can say Detroit Rock City. 🚀🎶

👉 What do you reckon, butt? Is this the future of arena rock or just a curious side project with famous surnames? Drop your thoughts below – and no, we don’t want to hear “they’ll never top the 1977 Love Gun tour,” we already know. 😉
