25 Bands Similar to Linkin Park

From Xero to Hybrid Theory and eventually Linkin Park; the origins of this iconic band date back to 1996, California. Xero was formed by current Linkin Park band members Mike Shinoda, Joseph Hahn, Brad Delson, Dave Farrell, Rob Bourdon, and ex-band member Mark Wakefield.

The Linkin Park we know and love only started to rise in the industry after Mark Wakefield left Xero in 1999 – Wakefield is currently the manager for Taproot. Mark was replaced with Chester Bennington, the former vocalist from the grunge band Grey Daze.

Sadly, in 2017, Bennington took his own life, leaving the band and their millions of fans shattered. In an interview on Sway’s Universe, Mike Shinoda speaks about losing a band member and friend.

While Linkin Park is mostly referred to as an American rock band, the style and genre of their music go much deeper than that. Their albums and songs have been categorized with nu-metal, hip hop, alternative rock, hard rock, electronic rock, and rap-rock.

Their album Hybrid Theory took the world by storm in 2000, cementing their link to nu metal – a subgenre of alternative metal. Back in 2014, an interview with Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington revealed some of the challenges the band faced on the road to the release of their first studio album.

Dead By Sunrise (formerly Snow White Tan)

Formed in California U.S 2005, the rock band was listed under alternative rock, hard rock, post-grunge, electronic rock, and alternative metal. Dead By Sunrise follows the same style and genre. As Chester Bennington was the lead vocalist for the band, you won’t find anything that is more similar. Well, not taking into consideration the lack of hip hop and rap throughout their songs.

Chester has also been associated with, Grey Daze, Stone Temple Pilots (2013–2015), and Kings of Chaos during the North American tour back in September 2016.
