History
Prehistory (20011-2012)
Having been acquainted since high school, Tyler Joseph, Nick Thomas and Chris Salih formed the band "Twenty One Pilots" in 2009. The group released their debut album, Twenty One Pilots the same year. Both Salih and Thomas left the band on good terms in mid 2011. Not long after, new found drummer Josh Dun joined the band. At the time, Dun was working at guitar center with Salih. Salih brought in a CD with three Twenty One PIlots songs for Dun to listen to. Dun stated that he loved the songs and wanted to see Twenty One Pilots live, soon attending a show at the Newport Music Hall. Dun approached Joseph after the show, they kept in touch and Dun officially joined not long after[3]. Twenty One Pilots, now consisting of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun, released Regional at Best in 2011. June of that year the pair played their first out of state show, though it was shut down by the police after one song due to a noise complaint[4]. By this time, they had developed a presence in the music industry. The last show they played without a record label was at the Newport Music Hall in Columbus, Ohio to a crowd of 1,800. The band was officially signed by Fueled by Ramen in 2012 [5]. July of that same year, together they released the Three Songs EP, which features the tracks "Guns for Hands", "Migraine", and "Ode to Sleep"[6]. All of these are featured on their next album, Vessel.
