Editor's note

Vertical Horizon's thoughtful pop-rock from D.C.

A band built on Matt Scannell's melodic songwriting and introspective lyrics.

For the early sound, 'You're A God' still holds up. If you want to hear where they landed later, try 'Angel Without Wings'.

They landed with songs like 'You're A God' and 'Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)' that worked on radio without losing their reflective edge. Their cover of Tracy Chapman's 'Fast Car' points to the singer-songwriter material they've always drawn from. Even a later track like 'Angel Without Wings' keeps that balance of melody and something a little more personal.

They started in Washington, D.C. in 1991 with Scannell, Keith Kane, and Ed Toth. Kane left in 2002, leaving Scannell as the primary writer through albums like 'Go' and 'Forever'. The lineup has shifted around Scannell and Toth, with players like Mark Lyon and Sean Hurley coming through.
