High-school colleagues [[Tyler Joseph]], [[Nick Thomas]], and [[Chris Salih]] formed Twenty One Pilots in 2009. The group released their debut album ''[[Twenty One Pilots (album)|Twenty One Pilots]]'' the same year. Both Thomas and Salih parted ways with the band in 2011. Soon afterwards [[Josh Dun]] joined the band; Joseph had been friends with Dun for around a year. Joseph first saw Dun when he was playing a show with House of Heroes. Joseph said that he "loved" the performance. The band released ''[[Regional at Best]]'' later that year. In June, the duo played their first out-of-state show to a group of 12 people. The pair soon gained popularity through a series of videos made by their friend, Mark Eshleman.
