Two Hours Traffic's "Stuck For The Summer" will be used as the theme to MTV's Camped Out television series.

The reality series, which only airs south of the border right now, chronicles life at six summer camps — including a sleep-away camp, a cheerleading camp and an arts camp.

Two Hours Traffic have launched a new mobile website, m.twohourstraffic.com, to celebrate. Visitors can sign up for the band's alert program, which will give them access to the Two Hours Traffic mobile site through SMS, news alerts from the band and occasional free exclusive mobile content.

Two Hours Traffic finished an incredibly successful 2008 with a hometown New Year's Eve show at Charlottetown's The Wave. The year saw the band play shows throughout Canada, and 2007's Little Jabs was shortlisted for the 2008 Polaris Music Prize.

Two Hours Traffic will begin recording its follow-up at the end of February. They're currently working on material for the new album with Little Jabs producer Joel Plaskett, according to a Dec. 17 MySpace blog entry. Potential titles for the disc include Giraffe Skateboard, The Teen Commandments and Monkey Business.

You can see Two Hours Traffic when they play Halifax's Seahorse Tavern on Saturday with guitarist/singer Alec O'Hanley and bassist Andrew MacDonald's side project The Danks and The Death Avengers as part of Collagen Rock Weekend.
