    Alt-pop artist CARR joins Caught on the Mike for an honest conversation about storytelling, fleeting relationships, and stepping into a bold new creative era.

    Fresh off the release of her new single “Mud,” CARR breaks down how one unforgettable night turned into a cinematic anthem — and how moments that don’t last can still leave a permanent mark. She also dives into the making of her upcoming album CARRGIRRL, out March 20 via DCD2 Records, and what this next chapter represents for her as an artist.

    We talk about her unconventional path into music, from late nights working at a recording studio to catching the attention of Pete Wentz and signing to his label. CARR also reflects on life on the road, touring with Fall Out Boy, Jimmy Eat World, and more, and how live performance continues to shape her songwriting.

    If you’re into alt-pop, alternative rock, honest lyrics, and artist journeys that don’t follow the usual rules, this episode is for you.

  • STANLEY SIMMONS- Nick Simmons & Evan Stanley

    STANLEY SIMMONS- Nick Simmons & Evan Stanley

    Stanley Simmons: From Viral Moment to Americana Revival | Evan Stanley & Nick Simmons Interview

    In this episode of Caught on the Mike, host Mike sits down with Evan Stanley and Nick Simmons, the folk-Americana duo behind Stanley Simmons, for a conversation about creativity, connection, and finding the right sound at the right time.

    Though they’ve known each other their entire lives—and grew up immersed in music history as the sons of Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons of KISS—they never intended to collaborate. That changed after a spontaneous viral Instagram video revealed an undeniable vocal chemistry, what they describe as a “third voice,” and sparked the formation of Stanley Simmons.

    The conversation explores the making of their debut single “Body Down,” a song rooted in Americana, folk, blues, and classic songwriting traditions, while feeling distinctly modern. Evan and Nick discuss writing 41 songs in just 11 months, working with legendary producer Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Fleetwood Mac, Paramore), and how early bedroom demos evolved into a full-length album.

    They also reflect on creating music without chasing trends, navigating legacy without leaning on it, and why they believe music is medicine—a form of resilience, expression, and connection in uncertain times.

    If you’re a fan of Americana music, folk revival, singer-songwriters, roots rock, or artists like Fleetwood Mac, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Noah Kahan, and Harry Styles, this episode offers a thoughtful look at two artists building something honest and enduring.
