Laces Out

Laces Out is USS' first single off Questamation. Released on February 10, 2009, it was soon aired on multiple radio stations, including 102.1 The Edge, which earlier had Hollowpoint Sniper Hyperbole in heavy rotation, inspiring USS to begin producing music videos for their more popular songs, such as 2 15/16ths.

The music video for Laces Out was shot mid-March 2009. It was directed by Jon Knautz and produced by Brookstreet Pictures, along with LifeForce Entertainment.
