The typical office has arguments over things like their favorite "Breaking Bad" character and the best place to have lunch. This isn't your typical office. With SOiL playing Festapalooza on September 14 and their new record "Whole" due out on August 20, we started discussing (read: arguing about) which of their five albums is the best one. Help us settle this.

For those that remember the first X-Fest back in 1997, I think I can say that one band in particular owned the stage that day.  They had just recently released their first album, and even though we'd been banging their song 'Black' on the radio, they were relatively unknown...

Another day, another great band reveal for Festapalooza! Today, we're pleased to announce that Chicago rockers SOiL will play our inaugural concert on September 14.

In case you haven't heard, Ryan McCombs is back with SOiL! Which is pretty awesome. Even better...they will be dropping their 6th studio album (the first with Ryan back on vocals) on August 20th called 'Whole'! On top of that, as if it could get any better, SOiL will be hitting the road for a full blown tour!

Since the 99X & TSM Flashback Party is coming up in a couple of weeks, we've been looking back at some of our favorite 99X moments. And how could we take a trip down memory lane with out thinking about Taylortown and SOiL?

In case you haven't heard the good news, SOiL has hooked back up with former lead singer Ryan McCombs. Which is great news because without him, they kinda sucked. If you haven't heard their new tune 'My Time' yet, you can check it out here. In my humble opinion, the song is as good as anything on 'Scars' and I can't wait for the new album to come out some time in the very near future.

SOiL narrowly beat Bobaflex last night to retain their Championship. So, tonight, they defend their title for the third time against another band we haven't heard from in a while, Orgy! Who wins is up to you, get your votes in after the jump.

Over the past 15 years music, especially rock and roll, has changed. Bands are no longer signing long term deals with record labels. People aren't buying physical copies of albums anymore, they are downloading them. The entire process of making music and purchasing it is different and has lead to, in my opinion, a Rock and Roll Renaissance.

Tonight, our CockFight Champion, SOiL will be defending their title against Bobaflex. Who wins is all up to you..is it still SOiL's time or does Bobaflex show them the sound of silence? Get your votes in after the jump!

SOiL took down Drowning Pool over Thanksgiving to become our new Cockfight champions. So, tonight, they defend their title for the first time against the Bullet Saints. Who wins it is up to you. Get your votes in after the jump!

Tonight, we have one of our most interesting CockFights ever when SOiL challenges Drowning Pool for their CockFight Crown. For those that don't remember, SOiL frontman Ryan McCombs left the band to join Drowning Pool in 2005. He then returned to SOiL in 2011. So, the question is, does Drowning Pool still rock balls without McCombs or does SOiL beat that ass? Well, that my friends, is all up to you

Hard rockers Drowning Pool are once again seeking a new vocalist, having parted ways with singer Ryan McCombs.
