About Me


“Blondie + Fugazi + Hillbilly Frankenstein + Talking Heads + P.I.L. + Television + King Crimson = System Noise. Art rock for a whole new generation.”- J.R. Oliver, EarCandyMagFrom the void, an original sound with a scorching lead vocal has ignited. System Noise is the rebirth of rock for the future.

System Noise buzzes along structured lines and blooms with classical awareness. Rising above these churning tones is a dynamic female vocal, replete with sweetness and fury. The music is robust yet ethereal, organic yet precise and, above all, distinctively System Noise.


The Final Frontier
Cosmic Monsters

In 2003, singer Sarah Mucho, guitarist Kurt Leege and drummer Paul Pouthier envisioned a new musical direction... with exceptional musicianship, and drawing upon a range of genres, they created a titanic sound which Bassist Dave Smith instantly connected with..
The result is System Noise.


Last Words

The System Noise sound blends diverse musical backgrounds with exceptional musicianship.. to transform traditional rock & roll. Sarah’s vocal roots in musical theater, with rock influences, ranging from David Byrne to Patti Smith, shaped her vision. Kurt, a trained classical pianist, picked up a guitar when he was 16 years old and immersed himself in jazz, funk and experimental music. Paul's layered style comes from a hard rock/heavy metal background which embraces elements of funk, progressive and world music. Dave played music since before he can remember, but his life changed forever when he found the Rickenbacker. Nobody knows everywhere he has been in the meantime, but joining System Noise made everybody happy.


System Noise, through electric shows, churning sounds, scorching lead vocals, and pure depth of thought, is ringing in the ears of the nation. A new sound from the underground.. built on the shoulders of giants.
