Blow out the candles!

Vocalist Ryan McCombs details a scary account of waking up to their bus going off the road.

SOiL frontman Ryan McCombs has been hospitalized after suffering a stroke in his sleep Sunday night.

SOiL and (Hed)P.E. are about to chew up some serious pavement on a monthlong trek they've dubbed 'Born to Ride 2.' The label mates will set out on May 1 in Arlington Heights, Ill., and will play mostly Western and Midwestern U.S. dates.

Soil are getting a second shot to get things right. The veteran band had a solid start to their music career over the last decade, but then saw several defections slow their progress.

When Drowning Pool came through here a few months ago, we all got to see Ryan McCombs tear it up on the Nitetown stage. I've always been a fan of his former band, SOiL. Well, it looks like he's rejoining the guys, but not on a permanent basis...so say.
