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

5 out of 5 stars Awesome cd.......2005-08-24

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. I did and to this day it is still one of my favorite cds. I can listen to the entire album. The band is so talented and it's a pity they don't have more recognition. The type of music is rock but it's not to heavy and it's not to soft it's just right. They also care a lot about their fans which you can see by going to their website: greenwheel.net Greenwheel is awesome.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Incredible.......2005-08-19

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.

5 out of 5 stars Great album.......2005-06-22

fabulous album, every song is good. Kind of annoying listening to melissa etheridge botch my favorite song off of their album, though

4 out of 5 stars Highly Underrated.......2005-04-24

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.

5 out of 5 stars Clearing the Air.......2005-04-01

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 was not going to release "Breathe". The record company did this before they decided to release it as one of their track. I thought it was odd that I totally knew the lyrics to a Melissa Etheridge song, until I realized she was covering them. I give Greenwheel a lot of credit for someone like Melissa Etheridge to even consider covering on of their song.

Go buy this CD!

      Ok, I bought this CD purely off the strength of their single "shelter" on the Spiderman soundtrack. I am so glad I did. This CD is amazing!!! The lyrics are great, the tunes wonderful, overall it was such a good CD!!!

      5 out of 5 stars Obsessed.......2003-02-19

      This is such a refreshing album from a refreshing band. From the first time I saw them play at Villanova with OLP, I knew I would love them. I am absolutely obsessed with Greenwheel and this CD-it does not disappoint!! I can't say enough good things about it!
