“Album Echoes From The Underground telah dilancarkan pada tahun 2013 dan tahun ini mereka sibuk dengan konsert jelajah dunia. Malaysia dan Filipina merupakan dua negara Asia yang akan mereka jelajah. Saya percaya, peminat-peminat kumpulan itu di negara ini pasti ternanti-nantikan aksi persembahan mereka.”

Profile Vertical Horizon
[dropcap]V[/dropcap]ertical Horizon was founded in the early 1990s, but it was seven years before lead singer Matt Scannell’s songs became the radio hits that brought the popular grass roots band to national attention. Vertical Horizon released three albums independently (There and Back Again, Running on Ice, and Live Stages) and toured extensively before signing with RCA Records in 1998. In 1999, they released their breakout album, Everything You Want, which went on to sell more than two million copies.
The second single off the CD, the title track “Everything You Want,” captured the #1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 and Adult Top 40 charts, and became Billboard’s Most Played Single of 2000. Having carved out a page in the annals of music history the band garnered further radio attention with “You’re a God” (#4 on Billboard’s Adult Chart) and “Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning).” In 2005, “Best I Ever Had” became a top 20 country hit for country star Gary Allan.
In the fall of 2013 Vertical Horizon released their latest album, Echoes From The Underground. The title of the album is a lyric from the song “Evermore.” It captures recurring themes throughout the record, such as a emotional and physical distance, as well as the often-hidden layers of emotion that exist within relationships. The first single, “Broken Over You,” is available for download on VerticalHorizon.com. Vertical Horizon will be touring in 2014 to support the album.
