Biography

Greenwheel is an American alternative rock band formed by friends Ryan Jordan , Brandon Armstrong, Andrew Dwiggins, Douglas Randall, and Mark Wanninger in 1999. A close friend/relative, Jamison Clifford Kane, would also play intermittently from the band’s formation until 2006. The band was formed in St. Charles, Missouri in a local record shop. This group of high school bandmates were originally called Hindsight before changing their name to Soma Holiday. They released a self titled album that same year which garnered them local attention. After this brief period, they went underground, performing only occasionally. In 2000, the group renamed themselves Greenwheel and released a four song demo and began performing at various venues in New York City before they were signed by Island Records.

Greenwheel worked with producer Jim Wirt in early 2004 on 16 new songs for a second full-length release on Island Records. The tentative name of the record was Electric Blanket, but it never came out since the band parted ways with the label in 2004. The band made the unreleased tracks available through a media player on their official website. The band has expressed interest at their shows that fans distribute the CD amongst themselves if they don’t have a copy, and the band provides burned copies of the disc for free at their shows.

After parting ways with Island, the band remixed and remastered their first independent self-titled release, and they re-released it to the public in 2005.

    This was a fantastic band. I saw them live 3 times in Detroit and they blew me away. The third time they played entirely songs from their new album that was never released and no recordings that I know of, exist.

    Anyone have a copy of Electric Blanket and/or Bridges for burning? I would be forever in debt to you if you could get me a copy of either... :)

    Not sure what's happening with them; they haven't updated their myspace for Go Van Gogh since Blood Money and Get Up were released. Haven't been able to find any other info. If anyone knows anything, let the rest of us know. =)

    Electric Blanket is a really amazing album, just listening to it now (after having it in my library for quite a while). Just wondering though -- anyone have a good version of Please (mine is crackly?) and if anyone wants the album just message me.

    Surprising they only have this many plays... I used to be obsessed with Soma Holiday back when they opened for OLP.

    Greenwheel is still around!! They took a little break and have been doing Go Van Gogh (their amazing side project) but have recently played two Greenwheel shows and another one is being planned! Also, someone needs to change the bio because MArk wanninger hasn't been in the band for almost 3 years. Drew Bailey played drums until late 2007. A show with the 5 orginal members is being planned.
