In 2009, the band Twenty One Pilots was formed by Joseph, Nick Thomas, and Chris Salih while they were in college. The name of the band was based on the play “All My Sons” which is about a family knowingly sending out faulty airplane parts in World War II leading to the death of 21 pilots. The group then decided to live together and conceptualized their first album. During the same year, they released their debut self-titled album before starting to perform on tour. They created a SoundCloud account made covers of several popular songs. Two years later, two members of the group left the band leaving Joseph and Salih’s friend Josh Dun to be the members of the band. The duo then released their second album entitled “Regional at Best”, and they continued to tour. They also released free songs, and a music video through YouTube.
In 2012, the band signed to Atlantic Records subsidiary Fueled by Ramen, which was also responsible for the success of artists such as Paramore and Panic! At the Disco. They released their debut EP entitled “Three Songs” before working on the full length album entitled “Vessel”, including songs “Guns for Hands” and “Lovely”. They then toured along with Fall Out Boy the following year, before performing in their late night TV debut on “Conan”. After performing in several more events across the country, they then went on to work on a new album entitled “Blurryface”, released in 2015 and containing the group’s highest selling single entitled “Stressed Out” which reached the second spot of the Billboard Hot 100. The album would reach the top spot on the Billboard 200, and they would then go on the Emotional Roadshow World Tour, boosting income considerably.
In 2016, Twenty One Pilots released the song “Heathens” as a part of the soundtrack of the film “Suicide Squad”; the song also proved popular, and they then performed as a part of “Saturday Night Live”, continuing on the following year by winning a Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category. According to an interview, their next album would be more focused on “going dark”.
