Members of Linkin Park made an appearance at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, with the band being in the running for quite a few trophies.

​

Mike Shinoda, Emily Armstrong, Joe Hahn and Colin Brittain spoke to iHeartRadio / KIIS-FM host EJ on the event's red carpet about Linkin Park's new single "Up From The Bottom" (coming March 27), mentioning plans to perform the song live during upcoming tour dates. EJ then announced there and then that Linkin Park would taking home the award for Rock Album of the Year, thanks to the band's most recent studio effort From Zero, and handed them the trophies right there and then, as the category would not be included in the awards ceremony itself.

​

Other publications also got their chance to interview the members of Linkin Park, among them Billboard's Tetris Kelly, who got to speak to them after they were handed their win. During this brief interview, Hahn and Shinoda further teased details about "Up From The Bottom", calling it "the best song [Linkin Park has] ever made", as well as hyping up a "mind-bending" music video that the band filmed for the single.

You've seen the little post-credits scene in that most recent LPTV episode teasing a new song. You've heard the notes in that MIDI file linked in that "Overflow" video. Maybe you ever spotted the "UFTB" hidden in a filename on that download page which the MIDI file comes from. In that case, Linkin Park is clearing the air on that mysterious acronym and apparently announcing that all those breadcrumbs are leading up to a new single announcement:

​

This tweet, complete with an image of Linkin Park staring down at you, the viewer, reveals that "UFTB" stands for "Up From the Bottom", evidently the name of that song being worked on in that LPTV scene. No information regarding precisely when the song is coming or anything else to do with its impending release has been given to us yet. "Up From the Bottom" obviously does not appear on the band's recent album From Zero - whether it is a standalone song or something to do with that album is unknown. Recent posts from band members suggesting some sort of video or photoshoot are also thought to be connected to this single, but those links are similarly unconfirmed.

All of those details are surely coming soon, but, in the meantime, fans will have to be content with gazing back up at the members of Linkin Park and pondering.

Linkin Park has just shared a video of 'Overflow' from their performance in Monterrey, Mexico on February 5th. This was the third time the song was ever performed and is one the seven songs from 'From Zero' that has debuted live so far (not counting the short 'Cut the Bridge' segment on the bridge of 'Bleed It Out'). You can watch the video below.


​
On the line "Looking up, the sky is falling", a link pops up on the YouTube video, leading to download.linkinpark.com. Here you can download a midi file named 'up.mid' consisting of a short chord progression. Is this from the same song that was teased at the recent LPTV episode? We'll have to wait and see.

Linkin Park has surprised fans with an unexpected upload today: no longer content with just watching other drummers taking their shot at "The Emptiness Machine", the band has shared their own multicam video of band member Colin Brittain performing the From Zero single on drums, while bathed in neon lights.

​

The video arrives with two months left to go until Linkin Park returns to the stage for the U.S. leg of the 2025 From Zero world tour.

  • If you are unsure and have questions about certain rules, please ask any LPA staff member or reply to this thread with your question.
So, have at it!

Linkin Park's Joe Hahn has been interviewed by the DJ-focused publication DJ Life Magazine, ahead of the band's upcoming U.S. tour leg starting late April. The magazine's editor-in-chief Jim Tremayne spoke to Hahn about a variety of topics including his early interest in turntablism, his thoughts on current DJ culture, and the gear and software he's been using on-stage for Linkin Park shows.


​
The interview serves as the feature story in the magazine's current issue. You can browse the digital edition for free and even order a limited-edition physical print here.

On crafting the "Joe Solo" segment of the live show:
DJ LIFE: On this tour, your scratch solo working with the drummer, Colin, is a real show-stopper. The two of your create a different kind of energy, a real arena-rock approach. What went into that and how do you determine how to fit it into a two-hour show?
Hahn: From our first album, we had "Cure for the itch," and that was a DJ-solo moment. and we figured, instead of just having multiple encores to give the vocalist breaks, that would be a good opportunity to keep the show going. So, with this one, Colin and I just got together, and made this in a day. We made three different beats that could have potential for that section. And then we just picked the one that we like. It's fun. It's just jamming. but a different kind of jamming. It's kind of cool, too, because it's almost like you don't see that kind of thing too much anymore.
On directing the video for "The Emptiness Machine":
DJ LIFE: You're also a video director of the group, which entails telling stories in a different way. How satisfying is that role?
Hahn: It depends on when you ask me [laughs]. It can be very stressful. I take it really seriously. I owe it to my brothers and sister to do the right thing and try to find something that has meaning. When we did "The Emptiness Machine," for example, I had a hard time trying to figure it out. Part of it was that I wanted to represent some flavors of what makes it a bit nostalgic, but wanted to present it in a whole new way. I wanted to do something visually captivating, but I also wanted to capture the essence of who we are. Talking to Mike, we were riffing on the idea of a multiverse concept, which everyone is familiar with the movies now. I really wanted to show the joy of us doing it altogether.

Following up the release From Zero: A Cappellas late last month, Linkin Park has just announced that an instrumental edition of their 2024 album will be released later this week on February 28. The announcement post features cover art suggesting that From Zero: Instrumentals will be combined with the aforementioned A Cappellas edition, making it comparable to a deluxe edition re-release with a second disc added.

​

While hearing the vocal-only mixes of the album allowed listeners to experience Emily Armstrong's singing in a new light, this version of From Zero will perhaps put a spotlight on the live drumming contributions of new band member Colin Brittain, making it a real treat for fans to hear.

What songs are you looking forward to hearing without vocals? Let us know!
