 Introduction
Linkin Park is an alternative band from Los Angeles, California. As of 2016, Linkin Park has released
six studio albums, their most recent being The Hunting Party, released in 2014. They are currently in the
studio working on their seventh full-length album, due out in fall 2016.

Officially formed in 1999, the band has roots that go back to 1996 and
prior. Before Linkin Park, all of the members in the band except Chester Bennington were in Xero,
which existed from 1996 to 1998 with a different singer Mark Wakefield. At the time, Chester was
serving as lead singer in Arizona band Grey Daze. After it didn't work out with the singer in Xero, the
band reformed under the name Hybrid Theory in 1999. On his 23rd birthday on March 23rd, 1999,
Chester recorded a demo for Hybrid Theory and as some say, the rest is history. After recording their
Hybrid Theory EP, releasing it in 1999, and touring, the band changed their name to Linkin Park in May
2000 in anticipation of their label debut album, now called Hybrid Theory.
