When a Stephen King novel influences a band's name, one knows they must be hard and heavy. Such is the case with the Southern California quartet The Deadlights. Their name signifies the name of the lights at the end of the tunnel after a near-death experience. The band was created by vocalist Duke and drummer Jim Falcone. The duo added Jerry Montano on bass guitar and Billy Roan on lead guitar to round out the group.
Spiridion were formed in November 2005 when guitar duo James Davies (Rhythm Guitar / Lyrics) and Kevin Llewellin (Lead Guitar) moved from their native Pembrokeshire to Cardiff in order to start a band. Once there they were reunited with drummer Phil Smith, who had played with them in their previous project, Redeye. The line up was completed by bass player Rich Cogin and vocalist Ross Cocker, two friends of James who met while studying graphics in Newport.

There is more than one artist with this name: 1) SOiL is a five-piece Alternative Metal band from Chicago, formed in 1997 by ex-members of renowned death metal acts Broken Hope and Oppressor. After three efforts (the EP SOiL, the EP El Chupacabra and the first album Throttle Junkies), they gained international success with their album Scars. Their success was helped by singles such as Halo and Unreal, which bear their distinctive harsh but emotional and melodic sound. The gloves are off, and Soil have come out swinging.
