Hybrid Theory is an early incarnation of Linkin Park. The band renamed themselves from Xero to Hybrid Theory after Chester Bennington joined. Due to Phoenix's commitment with Tasty Snax, Kyle Christener was brought in as the band's bassist. They released only one EP while under the name, along with several demos.
