The System

The System was an American synth-pop duo that debuted in the 1980s, composed of vocalist-guitarist Mic Murphy and seasoned session keyboardist David Frank. The band was founded in 1981 in New York and backed up by Paul Pesco on electric guitar and Kris Khellow on keyboards and synthesizers. The group have described their music as being "emotio-electro" because of its hi-tech, synthesizer-driven sound, married with passionate vocals and sensitive lyrics.
