Talk about making a good first impression. "Shelter," the leadoff track from Soma Holiday, is a carryover from the blockbuster Spider-Man soundtrack. It's the ultimate score for Missouri newcomers Greenwheel, a meat-and-potatoes American rock band that operates somewhere between Matchbox Twenty and Nickelback. Heavy guitars and easy hooks propel songs like "Strong" and "Dim Halo" into pyrotechnic-shooting arena territory, but the group also has a sensitive side to contend with on more contemplative cuts like "Breathe" and the impressively colossal "Identity." The platinum records are theirs for the taking. --Aidin Vaziri

This was the first cd I ever bought and it has been one of my greatest buys. I heard the song Breathe on the radio but it wasn't getting played that much in West Palm Beach, Florida so I called the radio station a couple times asking them to play it and they told me what the album and band was called and told me to go buy it.

Soma Holiday is, without question, one of the best rock albums I have ever heard. Every time a song from it comes on in my playlist, I get that feeling you get when your favorite song comes on the radio or something. ALL of the songs on Soma Holiday are like that. How many albums can you say that about? Not many.
Greenwheel are not nearly as well-known as they should be, considering their level of talent.

How have guys as talented as Greenwheel not gotten more recognition? Especially given the current and aweful state of rock music, this group should have come rocketing up to the top. Sadly, they are currently being hidden in the shadows for only those lucky few of us to discover. The album is ripe with powerful lyrics, emotion filled vocals, and great instrumentals. This is a band that has started at the top and is looking to take the top to a whole new level.

First of all, this CD is amazing! I first heard "Strong" on EA Sports NHL 2003. I told myself I had to get this album and it did not disappoint whatsoever! This album is consistent throughout which is a big plus. This is not one of those albums that falls off after getting halfway through!
As far as whether or not "Breathe" is theirs or not. Greenwheel wrote "Breathe". Melissa Etheridge is/was on the same record label as Soma Holiday. The record company came to her saying that Greenwheel ... Read More
