Beat The System  

 THE BEGINNING 

 Beat The System was formed in the late 2001 by guitarist Stewart and Shuresh. Both met in a church jamming session back in jbee. 
 Due to the same level of musical interest, Stewart and Shuresh became very close friends and shared ideas musically. With Stewart on guitars and Shuresh on drums/vocals, they started to jam thier favorite cover songs. Realizing they could more then jamming cover song’s, they started writing original materials for fun. 

 In the late 2001, they made a pact to create music with originality while using their respectetive music influences, believing that they can make an impact in the local music scene. Soon, they started to look up for bassist and drummer to complete Beat The System line up. 
 Sam was invited to play bass, knowing that he had the same level of interest and passion for music. Together they created the legacy of Beat The System. They made a commitment to jam and tighten up their skills. 

 In May 2002, when Stewart moved up to Kuala Lumpur, he manages to hook up with Gerald to take over the drums and thus the full line up for the Beat The System was completed. 
 Along the way, the band realized that Sam had more potential in singing and they started auditioning for a bassist’s, while later raja, an old friend, became the bassist. 
 Despite the distance, Sam and Shuresh who works in Singapore, and the rest are based in Kuala Lumpur, they still manage to spare time for practices and writing songs regularly. It all went back to basics,” DO YOUR HOME WORKS!!!!!!” 

 In the early 2003, Beat The System started performing gigs in Kuala Lumpur with an impressive result. Beat The System is well equipped with high octane performance, showmanship as well as music tightness in every gig. 
 In the mid 2004, raja parted from Beat The System due to musical differences and Selvam was invited to take over the position. And in 2008 Lenard had been invited to join Beat The System after the departure of selvam. 
 Despite performing a high energy level shows, Beat The System wants to create an experience for the audience, so they play like there is no tomorrow!!!!!!
