Sean Dowdell and his friends? was a band founded in 1991 until 1992. They recorded a demo together and eventually changed their name to Grey Daze (even though only Chester Bennington and Sean Dowdell remained in the band).

Extremely rare and highly sought after by collectors; this 3 track demo cassette is currently the earliest known demo recording to exist of Chester Bennington on lead vocals and pre-dates Grey Daze by 1-2 years. Recorded at Pantheon Studios in Scottsdale, AZ and released somewhere around 1993, this tape has since sunk into obscurity and so far only two have become public, selling anywhere from 500-1000 dollars on eBay. No other information exists about this cassette, and as of this time it is unknown how many copies were given out before the band broke up a few months later. The only song taken to Grey Daze from Chester and Sean’s old band was "Wake Me".
