[4] In early 2007, Hartless got a call from Brian Schram, ex-lead guitar player for Uncle Kracker, to come to Toronto and record a track on his 2007 release, Disturbing the Peace because their drummer had a family emergency and had to cancel last minute.

Throughout the year, Hartless and the band recorded the theme songs for The Next Bite and John Gillespie's Woods and Water fishing television shows on Versus TV.
