KISS’ music video for “I Was Made for Lovin’ You” has surpassed one billion views on YouTube. That track appears on the band’s 1979 album “Dynasty.” The group commented on the milestone:
“The numbers speak for themselves. This one still dominates. IWMFLY baby!!”
Stanley Simmons, the project featuring Evan Stanley and Nick Simmons, the sons of KISS’ Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, have premiered a new video for their song “Body Down.” You can watch that below:
Sleep Theory have premiered a new video for their song “Words Are Worthless.” This track is from the band’s latest album “Afterglow.”

Singer Joey Chiaramonte commented:
“I think we’d learned so much about our process from making ‘Would You Miss It?‘ that we knew exactly what we wanted going into this one and it came together with more of an instinctual kind of magic to it. A lot of bands think their second album has to be this magnum opus epic that sews so many things together, and I think we’d actually taken more of that approach with our first LP.
So with ‘Barely Here‘ we wanted to do the opposite of that trajectory–we wanted to refine our strengths instead of doing this purposeful departure. It’s a snapshot of what our band is in its most no-frills, perfected form.”
