Vertical Horizon is an acclaimed American alternative rock band that has made significant contributions to the music scene since their formation in 1991. Founded by vocalists and guitarists Matt Scannell and Keith Kane while they were students at Georgetown University, the band quickly established themselves with their unique sound and heartfelt lyrics. Their early years saw the release of their debut album, “There and Back Again,” in 1992, followed by the successful “Running on Ice” in 1995, which showcased their evolving musical style and garnered attention from record labels.

The band’s breakthrough came with their 1999 album, “Everything You Want,” which produced the chart-topping single of the same name. This album not only reached double platinum status but also solidified Vertical Horizon’s place in rock history, with hits like “You’re a God” and “Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)” further enhancing their reputation. Their ability to connect with audiences through relatable themes and catchy melodies has made them a staple in the alternative rock genre.

Following a brief hiatus, Vertical Horizon returned with the album “Burning the Days” in 2009, marking a new chapter in their artistic journey. This album featured a diverse range of musical styles and showcased Scannell’s growth as a songwriter. The late Neil Peart of Rush contributed to the album, adding to its prestige and appeal.

In recent years, Vertical Horizon has continued to evolve, releasing “Echoes from the Underground” in 2013 and “The Lost Mile” in 2018. With plans for two new albums on the horizon, the band remains committed to creating music that resonates with fans, demonstrating their enduring passion and talent in the ever-changing landscape of the music industry.
