“In this farewell, there’s no blood, there’s no alibi. ‘Cause I’ve drawn regret from the truth, of a thousand lies. So let mercy, come and wash away… What I’ve done. I’ll face myself, to cross out what I’ve become. Erase myself, and let go of what I’ve done.” These lyrics are part of one of Linkin Park’s most popular songs.

Linkin Park is a rock band that is well known with not only the students at San Benito High School but also some of the teachers. The band consists of Chester Bennington on lead vocals, Mike Shinoda as vocals, guitar, and keyboard, Rob Bourdon as drummer, Brad Delson as lead guitarist, David “ Phoenix” Farrell as bass guitarist, and Joe Hahn on turntables and programming. They have released three albums and are working on a fourth. The album names are “Hybrid Theory,” “Meteora,” and “Minutes to Midnight.” Linkin Park has been together since 1996 and released “Hybrid Theory” in 2000.
