Vertical Horizon

小簡介
VerticalHorizon 中譯“音樂坐標(biāo)”，成立于1991年，來自美國。
愛好吉他的Keith Kane叫他的朋友Matt Scannell和他一起演出，在一個當(dāng)?shù)氐木瓢芍羞M行周末表演。Vertical Horizon就這樣誕生了。Kane和 Scannell 在1992年畢業(yè)，并且決定要開始他們的職業(yè)歌唱生涯。在92年的夏末，他們進入了錄音棚，開始錄制他們的首張專輯"There and Back Again"。完成第一張專輯后，他們已經(jīng)擁有了一批忠實的歌迷。他們風(fēng)靡美國的西海岸。
在1995年有了第二張專輯Running On Ice。Ed Toth的老板支持Matt的媽媽在CD店出售兒子的專輯。Ed Toth對Vertical Horizon的表現(xiàn)大加贊賞。在一次演出過后，他意識到他們必須找一個新的鼓手，于是他加入了。
在1997年他們發(fā)行了Live Stages后，他們又計劃需要一個貝斯手，Sean Hurley 成為了這個樂隊最新的成員。從97到01年，他們不間斷的發(fā)行唱片， "Everything You
Want" (1999)，其中的主打歌曲在Billboard上曾居榜首。從那以后，他們開始了歐洲巡回演出，英國、法國、德國、荷蘭以及瑞士。

The acoustic jam band Vertical Horizon was formed in 1991 by Georgetown University undergrads Matt Scannell and Keith Kane; after graduation the duo relocated to Boston, and in 1992 self-released their debut LP There and Back Again. Non-stop touring followed, and soon the group was opening for bands like the Allman Brothers, Better Than Ezra and the Samples; they also appeared on the Aware II compilation alongside the likes of Hootie and the Blowfish, the Verve Pipe and Edwin McCain. In 1995 Vertical Horizon issued their sophomore effort Running on Ice, which featured the Dave Matthews Bands Carter Beauford on drums; a year later bassist Sean Hurley and drummer Ed Toth were added to the lineup, and in early 1997 they issued Live Stages. Upon signing to RCA, in early 1999 Vertical Horizon reissued its three previous LPs; their proper major-label debut, Everything You Want, followed later that year. The album went double-platinum on the success of the title track and three other singles, and Vertical Horizon supported it with an extensive tour of both North America and Europe. Eventually they returned to the studio, and began work on a follow-up to Everything. The finished album was delayed a few times, but Go was finally issued in September 2003. Over the next two years bonus track editions of the album appeared in both Japan and North America.
