Xero (aka Linkin Park)
Xero Demo Tape

Xero was the first name for the band Linkin Park, formed in 1996.

It included singer Mark Wakefield, emcee Mike Shinoda, drummer Rob Bourdon, DJ Joe Hahn, guitarist Brad Delson and bassist Dave 'Phoenix' Farrell.

Xero was originally called SuperXero, but later revised their name to Xero. They made just one demo tape, which included the songs "Fuse", "Reading My Eyes", "Stick N' Move" and "Rhinestone", which didn't achieve wide recognition. After Mark Wakefield left to become the manager for Taproot the band hired new vocalist Chester Bennington, formerly of the band Grey Daze, and made the Hybrid Theory EP under the band name Hybrid Theory.  The band again changed names from Hybrid Theory to Linkin Park at the release of their debut album, which is titled Hybrid Theory.
