My Favourite Music Artists/Bands

Friday, January 14, 2011

Hedley was made in Vancouver Canada. It first started with Jacob Hoggard who made it to the finals in Canadian Idol in 2004. Although he was voted off he still had a lot of fans. So the following year he formed the band Hedley with guitarist Dave Rosin, bassist Tommy Mac, and drummer Chris Crippin, all of whom previously teamed in the Vancouver band Everything After. They produced a self-titled album and had the hit songs On My Own, Trip and 321. However the band's popularity didn't go to U.S. So they made the albums Famous Last Words in October 2007 and The Show Must Go in 2009.

Linkin Park

Linkin Park (one of my first favourite bands) started out with just three people, Drummer Rob Bourdon,guitarist Brad Delson, and MC/vocalist Mike Shinoda. they attended school together in southern California and started a band called Xero. Bassist Dave "Phoenix" Farrell, singer Mark Wakefield, and DJ/art student Joseph Hahn later joined the group and decided on the name Linkin Park, the mispelled version of Lincoln Park. Chester Bennington also joined the group and shared vocals with Mike Shinoda. Likin Park released their debut album Hybrid Theory in the year 2000. where the songs In The End and Crawling were huge radio hits. In January 2002 recieved 3 grammy mominations and sold over 7 million copies. Their next album Meteora was released in March 2003. In this album the songs Numb, Somewhere I Beling and Breaking the Habit were great hits and scored simultaneously on the Billboard top 100. In 2005 Jay-Z idea of having a solo hip hop project to Mike Shinoda and Mike did with the dubbing project Fort Minor. In 2006 Linkin Park grouped up again to make their third album, which saw Shinoda sharing production credits with Rick Rubin and so Minutes to Midnight arrived. Being number one in many countries with the song What I've done. In the year 2010 the band teamed up again with Rick Rubin to work on the album A Thousand Suns.
