In January of 2010, McCartie released the bands 1st release, an EP called “Breathing Underwater”. Followed by the singles, “Fireworks... Explode” and “Never Be the Same”
Following their release, Theft’s jangly pop cut “Fireworks Explode” the theme song for the series, It’s On With Alexa Chung. Following that, the band wrote an original score for the award winning documentary show, True Life as the series' first guest composers, the band's spiraling anthem “Breathing Underwater” became the theme for the late DJ AM’s much-publicized intervention series, Gone Too Far and Theft's blistering and emotional song, “Never Be The Same”, was chosen as the theme song for MTV show, If You Really Knew Me, which premiered in July of 2010.
