Feb 23: V is for Vertical Horizon

An A-Z of bands suggested by the Spotify algorithm. 

This American band's greatest chart success came back in 2000 when the title track from their album 'Everything you Want' went to number one in the USA.

The band was founded by students at Georgetown University in Washington D.C. It has had quite a few members alongside the core members. With a little more support and luck it could well have been much bigger, but I like all of their albums.

Here's that most famous track from 2000. My guess is you may never have heard it before.

They also recorded several pieces of music with the late Neil Peart from Rush, including 'Instamatic'. The enthusiasm of Matt Scannell for this track was really wonderful to see - I posted it on the anniversary of Neil's passing.

Peart co-wrote the song 'Even Now' on 'Burning the Days', released in 2009. I like this a lot.
