Without any label support, the group released their debut single, "Tonight, I Love You" in 2008. The song received nation-wide radio airplay, and peaked at number 93 on the Canadian Hot 100. The success of the song led to the band attracting the interest of several record labels. The Latency were soon signed to MapleMusic Recordings. A music video for the single was released in 2009 and reached number one on the MuchMusic Countdown. The song was also featured on the Canadian teen drama television show, Degrassi. On May 19, 2009, Chomp!! was re-released digitally onto iTunes. The second single released from their debut album, "Kids", was sent for radio airplay on May 26. In September 2009, the group released their debut studio album, The Latency and joined Simple Plan, Marianas Trench and Plain White T's on tour in support of the album.

"All You Wanted" was released as the album's third single and premiered on MuchMusic on July 24, 2009. On August 29, the group performed at the Canadian National Exhibition alongside Faber Drive, Fefe Dobson and Shiloh. The Latency was nominated for Pop Recording of the Year at the 2010 Western Canadian Music Awards. The fourth single released from their debut studio album, "Fork in the Road", was released in February 2010. "Tonight, I Love You" was nominated for Hot Adult Contemporary Song of the Year at the 2010 Canadian Radio Music Awards, but lost to Karl Wolf's "Africa". In March 2010, Lehti took part in Young Artists for Haiti to raise funds to support the victims of the 2010 earthquake performing K'naan's "Wavin' Flag". Lehti got a call from Dave Faber of Faber Drive, who invited him to join the group of Canadian artists for the occasion. There, he met then-president and CEO Randy Lennox, who signed him up to be a part of the movement.

In April 2010, the group embarked on the SASS tour, in promotion of the School Alliance of Student Songwriters program. The band later supported Faber Drive on the Can't Keep a Secret tour along with These Kids Wear Crowns, Jesse Labelle and The New Cities. During the tour, the group began working on writing songs with Faber Drive after Dave Faber asked them. The band also confirmed in May 2010, that they were working on their second studio album and had already finished four tracks. By June 2010, the group had written eleven songs. In November 2010, the band made a guest appearance on the American comedy-drama television show, Hellcats. The album's lead single, "Music to Me" was released on June 23, 2011. The group performed at the Maple Ridge Music Fest in July 2011. On December 4, 2011, the group announced that they would be parting ways, ultimately cancelling the release of their second album. The band released the three remaining tracks intended for their second album, "Break The Ice", "Hero" and "Still Believe In You" on MySpace before splitting up.
