Greenwheel was awesome. They put on a great show, and I liked them a lot more than Ash, although that girl can really wail on the guitar.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

I'm not saying Ash sucks or isn't good or anything, I just like Greenwheel and OLP more.

I'll be seeing Greenwheel on August 3rd. I've never heard them before, but maybe I'll form an opinion about them.

I read through some of their lyrics, but I'll probably just wait for the concert to hear what they sound like. Surprises can be good.

I keep seeing the preview channel interviewing the lead singer and the bassit (who I met during OLP's sound check) about their new cd. I hope they become well known, same for OLP, but only more.

I really liked the energy of Greenwheel. That lead singer REALLY gets into it. I enjoyed that. (I saw them at this one festival with Ash, Quarashi...who were really bad, Dashboard Confessional...)

i saw greenwheel the last 2 nights with OLP (austin and houston) and i thought they were decent. they had a lot of energy and everything which was cool, but i wasnt super impressed with their songs. the lead singer was a cool guy though, and came down before OLP's set and talked to a bunch of us against the barricade...he also helped a few people who wanted to climb over the barricade to get out of the crowd, which was something i havent seen a band member ever do before.

i actually preferred ash, who i thought were a lot fun to watch...the first few songs and last few songs they played were really awesome (particularly Girl From Mars...i freakin love that song), but i will say that parts in the middle i was just sorta waiting for them get on with the show.

I thought Greenwheel was really good, their energy was awesome. I really like the song Breathe. haha, Naveeder Val, that's really funny you said that because I saw Quarashi at a festivil OLP was headlining and they were TERRIBLE! lol, I did not like them at all. I'm really not into the rap/rock thing though. Dashboard Confessional were there too and they were awesome, the crowd was really into it (even though technically it's just that guy, but whatev). So yeah back on topic, Greenwheel were awesome, as well as Ash. - Megan

Quarashi was horrible!!! The whole time me and my friend were yelling "GO BACK TO ICELAND! WE DON'T LIKE YOU IN AMERICA!"
