Who Are They? Greenwheel was a alternative rock band from St. Louis that formed in 1999 under the name Soma Holiday. They released their self titled independent debut album in 2000, and quickly caught the ear of several major labels. In 2002, the band signed to Island Records and changed their name to Greenwheel. As a tribute to their original name, the band named their major label debut Soma Holiday. The album spawned the hits "Breathe" and "Shelter". The band began work on their second album, titled "Electric Blanket" in 2004, but was let go from the label before the album would be released. In 2006, the band independently released an EP titled, Bridges For Burning, which featured the singles "Caving In" and "Lonely Afterglow". Height of Popularity The band's major label debut would mark the height of their popularity, specifically their song "Breathe," which although is best known for the cover version done by Melissa Ethridge, gained significant airplay in several markets and remains a fan favorite. Where Are They Now? In 2007, the band announced they would be recording under the name Go Van Gogh, with a considerably different sound. Rediscover Listen:
