Original KISS drummer Peter Criss is addressing reports that he’s charging fans $1,000 for a digital download of his new self-titled solo album. According to Blabbermouth, Criss’ Bandcamp page was selling his new record on vinyl for $32.98 and on CD for $14.98, both which include a download code. However, the standalone digital version of the album was priced at $1,000.
Justifying the cost, a note on Criss’ Bandcamp page read: “Digital purchases are discouraged. That’s why the high price.”
It should be noted that as of writing this, all listings on Criss’ Bandcamp page appear to have been removed.
On Monday (Dec. 22), the drummer addressed the controversy via a statement shared to social media.
“Hello KISS Army! Bandcamp had become an issue and I had requested Flatiron Recordings to disable the account associated with my records before the release day of my New record on December 19, 2025,” he wrote.
“I am not in control of the Bandcamp account. Flatiron Recordings is. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and for the misinformation and implication that I am charging $1,000 for a download of my New record – I am Not. Please contact Flatiron Recordings with any purchase questions. Please find another outlet to purchase My New Peter Criss Rock Record. There is a Linktree on my website […] of outlets to purchase my new record. Just click the link for my record and it will show you the Linktree. Please use one of those instead of Bandcamp. Thank you all!”
Digital downloads of Peter Criss’ new self-titled album are currently available to purchase on ITunes for $9.99.
