In 2009 “Twenty One Pilots” was formed from three college friends, in the present Tyler Joseph, ( the guy with the red beanie, yes he is not Willy Wonka) is the only member left of the original members, the weird guy who is trying to smile/scare people with his head dyed red is Josh Dun, joined on 2011, but who are they?.

Josh is the drummer of the band, and Tyler sings and play the guitar or the ukelele depending on the song. They both write the lyrics of their songs, and they are pretty poetical

The kind of music that Josh and Tyler have created is not easy to define in one gender, they cross between rap to pop.  They use in a moment  melody of piano  and suddenly they put drums, they mix a lot, but it surely works.

Even though they look like an “emo awkward band” they are way too funny and silly, if you don’t believe me, you should go and search for a video of their vines compilations on youtube, trust me, they are not what they look like.

The boom of the band was this year when they released  their second album called Blurryface, signed by Fueled by Ramen on May 15,  and sold over 134,000 in the first week. This album was their first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200.
