its second single , `` believe '' was re-recorded with the national arts centre orchestra in support of canada 's own the podium campaign , and served as the official anthem of the canadian team for the 2010 winter olympics .
mcneil performed alongside theory of a deadman and andrée watters at the halftime show of the 96th grey cup .
her second studio album , `` rock-n-roller '' -lrb- 2008 -rrb- , spawned the successful single `` supergirl '' , a cover of the saving jane song .

they have recorded an ep to be released soon , and have reportedly written enough songs for a full-length album to follow shortly thereafter .
