“Hybrid Theory came out and nu metal was everything. I bought the album and showed it to everybody at school": New Linkin Park singer Emily Armstrong says she was a fan of the band in high school

Linkin Park.

Emily Armstrong, the new-ish vocalist with Linkin Park, has been talking about her journey from fan to band member and how she’s clicked with her new colleagues.

She was talking to Lauren O’Neil of the Chicago Modern Rock station Q101 for their Women Who Make Q101 podcast. Armstrong described the last six months as “the craziest that I’ve ever experienced”. The 38-year-old vocalist with LA rockers Dead Sara was unveiled as the reformed Linkin Park’s new singer back in September, a brave move for both her and the band. Many of the group’s fanbase would have struggled to accept any replacement for the late Chester Bennington, yet by all accounts, From Zero, the album they brought out last autumn, has been well received and the majority of fans are on board with the reconfigured line-up.
