The Stanleys Release Kid’s Gonna Rock Vinyl, Tour Dates

Just in time for summer, The Stanley’s are at it again, bringing the world the pop-heavy Kid’s Gonna Rock 7” Vinyl split with fellow power popsters The Mynd Gardners to be released worldwide on July 1st, produced by Ken Stringfellow (REM) and Andy Lawson (Eskimo Joe).

Exuding a sense of freedom echoed by the bands musical journeys around the world, the high-energy title track, “Kid’s Gonna Rock,” is an upbeat pop anthem with driving guitar and an addictive chorus that has recently been added to Harmonix’s Rock Band for XBOX 360.

With the summer of 2012 came The Stanleys’ infectious debut offering, the “Always-EP”, receiving praise from a budding community of fans and spinning on medium to high rotation on US college Radio and London’s Radio 2. They rode the wave of the ‘Always – EP’ success, playing all over the world including the prominent CMJ, NXNE, and the world’s largest festival, Summerfest.

The Stanleys are taking on the world again this July for the KID’S GONNA ROCK TOUR in support of their Kid’s Gonna Rock 7” Vinyl, with dates in the US, Europe, China, and Australia. The world better watch out because these kids are gonna rock!
