**********************************************

Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker (USS) is a musical duo based in Parkdale a neighbourhood situated in the west-end of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The band is composed of vocalist, guitarist and erhu player Ash Buchholz (aka Ashley Boo-Schultz) and turntablist/hypeman Jason Parsons (aka Human Kebab).

The USS sound is a mixture of drum and bass beats, grunge-like guitar riffs and 2-step rhythms. "We like to call what we do 'the campfire after-party,' " Buchholz says. "It's like you're at Nirvana Unplugged but there's a drum and bass party and glow sticks all around you.
The band's name came about when Buchholz decided to draw-up a map of exactly who he wanted to be in life. At the top of this life-plan he wrote "Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker." Although this title was to become the band’s moniker, the duo says that the name is for everyone: “It's singular — it's the title of a characteristic, not the title of two guys”, Buchholz said. By July of 2007 they began to perform live, and they released their first independent EP, Welding the C:/, later that same month.

The duo did not predict the success that was to follow and actually parted ways shortly after the EP’s release. Parsons travelled west to the province of Alberta to work on an oil pipeline and Buchholz headed south to the US on an emotional pilgrimage, until a friend of Parsons' contacted him with some good news.
The friend called-in to report that the Toronto based radio station, 102.1 The Edge had started to put their first single, Hollowpoint Sniper Hyperbole, into heavy rotation. Parsons managed to get his foreman to agree to give him a few days off, and Buchholz, who was in Texas by this time, decided to head north once again; the duo returned to Toronto to shoot their first video for Hollowpoint Sniper Hyperbole which was soon featured across Canada on the MuchMusic channel.
