About this listen
The dramatic story of the unlikely partnership that led to Hybrid Theory, the biggest-selling debut album of the 21st century.
From the unique perspective of the executive who discovered them, One Step Closer reveals how Brad Delson's college internship was a catalyst for a group of young musical visionaries, led by Mike Shinoda, which gave rise to a band that survived countless rejections, exceeded everyone's expectations but their own, and became the voice of a generation.
This against-all-odds story chronicles the early days of Linkin Park, from their first demo and Whisky a Go Go performance as Xero, through their tireless efforts to perfect their iconic sound and the discovery of Chester Bennington. Jeff Blue was there when no one else believed - first as their publisher, then as their A-and-R guy. This is his memoir of that incredible journey.
Riveting and inspiring, One Step Closer is a testament to perseverance, as well as a detailed behind-the-scenes account of the building of a dream and what it takes to make it.

A Must For Linkin Park Fans
If you are a fan for Linkin Park, this is a must. Learning the history of the band, how they got together and how Chester got involved is really interesting. The only negatives are the performance, and the woe is me attitude of Jeff Blue.
