The official music video for “Cold,” the newest single from Stanley Simmons, is now available below. Directed by Jack Hackett, the project brings together Evan Stanley and Nick Simmons, the sons of Kiss legends Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, respectively.
The track appears on Stanley Simmons’ debut album, Dancing While The World Is Ending which was released on August 28.
Stanley Simmons played their first show on May 4 at the House Of Blues Voodoo Room in San Diego, followed by a short California run through Santa Ana, Morro Bay and Ventura.
The band recently released “Lilith”, which follows “Body Down“, the title track “Dancing While The World Is Ending“, “Temporary Love“, “Cellophane” and “Don’t Leave Me Here Like That“.
Their first full American tour, billed as the “Dancing While The World Is Ending 2026 US Tour“, opens on September 14 at Three Links Deep Ellum in Dallas and closes on November 3 at the Troubadour in West Hollywood.
Evan and Nick grew up together on tour buses, but had never played music with each other. That changed in December 2024, when they filmed what was meant to be a throwaway Instagram reel and ended up in front of microphones together for the first time.
“We were shocked,” Evan and Nick said. “The chemistry was instant. The way our voices locked together… it was undeniable.”
By February 2025 they were writing, still treating it as something casual, and the results held up. They have described the outcome as the kind of record each had privately wanted to make: expressive, organic and built on musicianship and storytelling rather than production.
Bedroom demos were enough to bring in Rob Cavallo, whose production credits run through Green Day, Fleetwood Mac, Paramore, My Chemical Romance and Dave Matthews. He signed on to produce the album and then took on management of the duo as well.
