The
main event of the night, of course, USS were nothing but stellar. Human
Kebab, the man…the hype-man, seemed to inject the audience with
adrenaline while vocalists Ashley Boo-Schultz kept everyone in a
transcendent flow. The show kicked off with the dramatic intro of “2
and 15/16ths” and the rest of the night was history.
It’s
hard to believe the Canadian duo, who released their demo and began
performing live in the same month, would have their songs on heavy
rotation on 102.1 The Edge, and have their first video single
“Hollowpoint Sniper Hyperbole” played regularly on MuchMusic and
recently were awarded two CASBY awards. USS triumphed over other
Canadian greats such as Tokyo Police Club, Bedouin Soundclash and Sam
Roberts to win those awards, pretty impressive one might say.
With this much hype just radiating from their EP, Welding the C:/, there are definitely big things to come for USS as their full-length album, Questimation, debuts early 2009.
