USS, short for Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker, are a Toronto duo formed in 2007: Ashley Buchholz, also known as Ash Boo-Schultz, on vocals and guitar, and Jason "Human Kebab" Parsons on turntables and hype. Their sound is a head-on collision of drum and bass beats, grunge-sized guitar riffs and 2-step rhythms, which Buchholz has pitched as a campfire after-party, part unplugged sing-along, part glow-stick rave.
The Welding the C:/ EP and "Hollow Point Sniper Hyperbole" set the tone in 2008, and Questamation followed in 2009 with "Anti-Venom" and "Laces Out", songs that swing from acoustic strum to breakbeat frenzy without apologizing for either. The Approved EP in 2011 brought "Damini" and "Yo Hello Hooray (everyday)", and Advanced Basics in 2014 gave them "Yin Yang", as bright and bouncy as anything they made.
The pair announced their split in 2021 and played their last show in June 2022, but it didn't stick: they reunited in 2025.
