"You are now, all of you, answering a call."Their sound is as hard to describe as their name is to say. Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker, better known as USS, arelike a campfire after-party with a jungle-rave vibe, progressively two-stepping their way to a dance folk cuddle. Pureintention is the scope they aim through, eliciting dance-floor eruptions is what theyre known for. Science rap onbreakbeat tracks anyone?Ash Boo-Schultz and Human Kebab hail from the towns of Markham and Stouffville, ON., respectively andrespectfully. Although they attended rival high schools, vocalist/guitarist Ash and hypeman/turntablist extraordinaireKebab didn't collide until years later. While employed by the same local golf course, fate ushered them both into abeer fridge that needed reorganizing.A sudden alchemy filled the air between the artists. It was love at first random concept - the catalyst moment to theirself-proclaimed "long, drawn-out, overnight success."The memories are many. In 2008, the band maimed mainstage at 102.1 The Edge's Edgefest alongside SamRoberts, Linkin Park and Stone Temple Pilots.

USS are singing andscratching up new storms, alongside producer Tawgs Salter (Lights, Elliot Yamin, Josh Groban).
