Beta State is an American alternative rock band from the San Francisco Bay Area. Formed on September 1, 2009 with former members of Strata,[1] they have gone on to release two full-length albums titled Stars and #Friendship[2] and have opened for major acts such as Linkin Park, Green Day, The Strokes, Neon Trees, Airborne Toxic Event, Cage The Elephant, Florence + The Machine, Bush, Bad Religion, Mumford and Sons, Foster The People, Young The Giant, Manchester Orchestra, Awolnation, Innerpartysystem, and Dredg.[3]

Beta State got the attention of Linkin Park's co-lead vocalist Mike Shinoda by working their way backstage and handing them an iPod Touch with all of their music pre-loaded onto the device. He blogged about it on his website saying they know "How to get attention the right way", referencing how they have never been given a demo from a band in this way.[4]

Later on Beta State would end up recording a song with Linkin Park at Red Bull Studios, being featured on Linkin Park's LP Underground XIII record with their song "Change".[5]
