The band's major label debut, "Everything You Want", was released in 1999. There were many more auditions, but they eventually came back to Sean, and he officially joined Vertical Horizon. Their first audition was Sean Hurley, and everyone liked him immediately.
Ryan had never intended to join the band permanently, so the three other members held auditions for a permanent bass player. Their wishes came true, and the band was signed to RCA Records. Also, by this time, the band was explicit in their intent to find a major record label band members have said that it was no accident that the first track of Live Stages opens with the sounds of a large cheering audience. Live Stages signaled a departure from the original acoustic guitar-based music, and featured heavy emphasis on electric guitar. This featured Matt, Keith, and Ed, as well as Ryan Fisher on bass. In 1997, a live album, Live Stages, was released. More touring followed, and soon Matt and Keith were joined by Ed Toth on drums. Guests included members of Jackopierce band as well as Carter Beauford (of the Dave Matthews Band) on drums. The resulting album, titled ' Running on Ice', again had Matt and Keith playing acoustic guitar and singing, but it also featured the addition of other guest musicians to play other instruments. By 1995, they were ready to record again. The duo toured for several years after this, mostly appearing with similar bands such as Jackopierce. Both also contributed to writing all the songs and both sang for ' There and Back Again'. Tolkien, though they both mostly played acoustic guitar. Matt and Keith together played all the instruments appearing on that album, with its name taken from 'The Hobbit' by J.R.R. In 1992, they self-released their debut album, titled ' There and Back Again', which they had recorded in Matt's old high school over a period of a few days.
After their graduation in 1991, the duo relocated to Boston, in which they got started seriously recording. They're best known today for their 1999 mega-hit " Everything You Want", which was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Vertical Horizon is an alternative rock band that was formed in 1990 by Georgetown University undergrads Matthew Scannell and Keith Kane.
