Our song “Never Be the Same” will be featured on MTV’s “Jersey Shore”. Tune in Thurs, August 4th at 10/9c.

Our apologies go out to our new and old friends in Connecticut. Security told us that we couldn’t come out and say hi to you all after the show tonight. They were worried about some security risk or something. We hope to meet you all next time around.

Best,
Matt

New York, NY – April 29, 2010 – MTV, known for supporting artists before they become household names, is once again shining a spotlight on an up-and-comer and giving them the reigns to do what they do best – create music. On Monday, May 3 viewers tuning into the MTV EmmyAward-winning series “True Life” episode “I Have A Traumatic Brain Injury” will hear original music exclusively created for the episode by Theft. As MTV’s first-ever guest composer, Theft has been given a unique opportunity to produce original content for one the network’s most successful and long-standing series, allowing their music to be introduced to an audience that may not be familiar with them. MTV “True Life” airs on Mondays at 10pm ET/PT.

“MTV has always believed in giving emerging artists the chance to shine and get their music out,” said Joe Cuello, Vice President, Creative Music Integration, MTV. “We truly believe in Theft’s talents and are excited to support them by using our many platforms to introduce their music to our audience.”

After the premiere of “True Life: I Have A Traumatic Brain Injury” viewers can go to the “True Life” series page on MTV.com to download an exclusive acoustic version of “Fireworks Explode” which has special meaning to the band because it was inspired by a close friend who had suffered a brain injury. The band also works closely with the Brain Injury Association of America to support awareness of this issue.

The L.A. based Theft (Matt McCartie and Dwayne Larring,) whose name was inspired by a U2 lyric, and MTV have already established a working relationship. After coming to the attention of several MTV music supervisors the network chose to use some of the band’s tunes as theme songs for a few high-profile series including “Fireworks Explode” for “It’s On with Alexa Chung,” “Breathing Underwater” for “Gone Too Far” and “Never Be The Same” for new series “If You Really Knew Me.” Theft released their debut EP Breathing Underwater in January 2010 and will release a full-length album, The Hard Way, later this year. In addition, the band will be hitting the road this summer when they open up for Creed on their 2010 Tour.

“True Life,” explores topics relevant to young people by telling their stories through first-person accounts and delves into issues on cultural trends covering matters relating to lifestyle subjects such as health, sex drugs, spirituality, money and more. In 2009, “True Life” received a Daytime Emmy Award in the Outstanding Special Class Series category.

“True Life” is Executive Produced by Dave Sirulnick, Marshall Eisen, Betsy Forhan and Jim Fraenkel of MTV.
