USS APPROVED
In true USS form, the new EP, USS Approved is a journey. As consciousness is rising, so is our realization that life can be hard and it can hurt, but the reflection is not of our souls, but how we withstand the trials and tribulations. This album is about that self-seeking journey; accepting that in the end, we’re all broken – and that’s ok.
USS Approved track listing:
- Yo Hello Hooray (Everyday)
- Damini
- Heaven on Mars
- Prefontaine
- Minus Me
- N/A OK
- K.I.T.
The EP, featuring the single N/A OK, is now available on iTunes.
2011 Press Release
Toronto, Ontario, Canada – March 22, 2011 – it has been said that good things come to those who wait; in the case of USS (Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker)’s new EP, “USS Approved,” that statement may prove to be accurate.
After two years in the Questamation era, USS has resurfaced from months spent working in “The Shack” alongside producer Tawgs Salter (Lights, Elliot Yamin, Josh Grobin), ready to unleash the evolution of consciousness-oriented living, that is their new EP, “USS Approved.”
The first single off the album, “N/A OK,” has infiltrated radio waves across Canada. The single released on Feb. 14, and Toronto’s 102.1 The Edge was the first to add the track. Three days later, “N/A OK,” made it onto The Edge’s Thursday 30, and the track continues to climb their charts. Stations across Canada are eager to jump on the trail, like Live 105, in Halifax, The Zone, @ 91-3 in Victoria and Sonic, 102.9 in Edmonton, and Live 885, in Ottawa to name a few.
Statistically, we’re smiling. “N/A OK” is climbing at a rate faster than previous singles, like “Hollowpoint," with 4962 spins, "Anti-Venom," with 3393 spins, and "Laces Out," with 5760 spins.
“N/A OK” is the #2 most added on Mediabase Alternative Rock Chart, the single went from #84 to #27 (in a month) on the Mediabase Alternative Rock (Published Panel) SPINS Chart, and is the #3 greatest gainer.
The EP “USS Approved” will be released May 3rd, 2011, available digitally worldwide. The hard copy of the EP will be available exclusively in Canada.
USS debuted the new music to a sold-out crowd on March 10, at Toronto’s Phoenix Concert Theatre, for Canadian Music Fest 2011. It was a night for the books. Ubiquitous Love in 2011 is here.
