Featured songs

The song "Our Time Now" is used in most commercials and trailers for the ABC Family show Greek, and is performed by the band (along with "Hey There Delilah") in the episode "The Rusty Nail". "Our Time Now" and "You and Me" were used in the Disney Channel Original Movie, Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board. The Plain White T's also performed "Our Time Now" on an episode of the Nickelodeon show iCarly. "Making a Memory" was played during Katy Fox's final episode in Hollyoaks. The same song was put after the US version of The Voice's blind auditions, after Christina Aguilera made her choice.
