Instead, read the words of this 1 star review left by Royalsfan83 with the subject line “Garbage”: Yet another music podcast by insipid, try-hard millennials who amaze themselves at how edgy they are. You can get this content from countless other shows minus the delusional leftist rants.

The heartfelt and longing sounds of the single “Everything You Want” skyrocketed the band to #1, and the song went on to become one of the biggest songs of the year. For a band who had paid their dues and started their career with a very DIY approach, their mainstream success was maybe cut shorter than it could’ve been by the age old story of major label mismanagement. This week, we dive into the story and music of Vertical Horizon to find out if their catalog is everything we want.
