Rise and shine, Babylon

About Me

System Kid is a three piece rock band playing music for the thinking class. Assembled near Los Angeles, they grace the Hollywood scene with driving guitar and stirring piano over a syncopated groove.

The influence of U2 and Radiohead translate to strong melodies and intelligent song structure. Jared Anderson delivers lyrics drawn from a complex personal history in a voice set apart. Bassist Evan Troxel's credentials in architecture and academia supply composition while Bart Welt's skill with design brings focus to his drumming. For a band with songs as catchy as the joyful, "Birthday Suit," System Kid's roots go deep. Take a listen and be moved.
