Vertical Horizon is an American Alternative rock Band from Washington, D.C. known for the late '90s/early '00s hits "You're a God", "Everything You Want", and "Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)". Their most recent album, Burning the Days, was released in late 2009. "Save Me From Myself” is the first single.
Vertical Horizon was formed in 1991, by Georgetown University undergrads Matthew Scannell and Keith Kane. Early performances included well-received cover sets (Simon & Garfunkel, etc.) in the campus' Leavey Center food court. After graduation in 1992, the duo relocated to Boston and self-released their debut album There and Back Again. Recorded in Matt's old high school (Deerfield Academy) over a period of a few weeks, Matt and Keith played all the instruments on the album, and split songwriting and lead vocal duties.
Matt and Keith toured as a duo for the next few years, mostly appearing with similar bands such as Jackopierce. Ready to record again, 1995's Running on Ice (produced by John Alagia and Doug Derryberry, along with Scannell) showed significant growth in the duo's songwriting.
