In 2007, realizing as Matt says, “there was more to do” and “thinking the timing was just right to start working on a new album,” the band began writing and recording, Burning The Days. While Toth had hoped to juggle both bands, he quickly realized it would not be possible and announced his departure from Vertical Horizon in July 2005. In 2005, drummer Ed Toth got what he considered the dream gig of a lifetime when he was invited to join the Doobie Brothers following the death of drummer Keith Knudsen. A second single, "Forever", was released prior to the re-release and received moderate airplay but did not match the earlier success of Everything You Want. "Go" was re-released with an additional track in 2005. VH ended their relationship with RCA in 2004 and re-signed with Hybrid Recordings. "I'm Still Here", the first single from Go, was released with little fanfare and faded quickly. ![]() The follow up to "Everything You Want", titled "Go", was delayed several times until finally being released in 2003.

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.
