KISS members Gene Simmons (bass, vocals) and Tommy Thayer (guitar) were interviewed this morning (Tuesday, October 6) on New Jersey's 105.5 WDHA radio station. The six-minute chat can now be streamed below.

KISS' new album, "Sonic Boom", was released in Europe on October 5 via Loud & Proud/Roadrunner Records. The CD is being made available in the U.S. and Canada on October 6 exclusively via Wal-Mart, Walmart.com and Sam's Club retail locations.

"Sonic Boom", produced by guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley in Los Angeles, is the centerpiece of a three-disc set that also features a completely re-recorded greatest hits CD (previously available in Japan) as well as a live DVD shot in Argentina during the band's recent, record-breaking KISS Alive 35 South American tour. The CD set is retailing for $12.

The "Sonic Boom" cover art was created by Michael Doret, who also designed the band's classic "Rock And Roll Over" album cover.
