Beta State got the attention of Linkin Park's co-lead vocalist Mike Shinoda by working their way backstage and handing Shinoda an iPod Touch with all of their music pre-loaded onto the device. Shinoda 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]
