Running on Ice

Running on Ice was the second album by Vertical Horizon, released independently in 1995, and later re-released by RCA Records. As with the band's first album, There and Back Again, the band consisted solely of Matthew Scannell and Keith Kane. This time around, though, there were many guest musicians who contributed to various songs, notably Jack O'Neill and Cary Pierce of Jackopierce, and Carter Beauford of the Dave Matthews Band.

This album contains the only Vertical Horizon song to date credited to someone who is not Matt or Keith (Kelly Moylan, Matt's girlfriend at the time, wrote the words to "Falling Down"), and "Famous" was the only song to be credited to both Matt and Keith.

Heart in Hand was featured in the movie, The New Guy.
