About Twenty One Pilots Merch
Twenty One Pilots (often stylized as Twenty One Pilots or TWENTY NE PILTS) is an American musical duo that originates from Columbus, Ohio. The band was founded in 2009 by lead singer Tyler Joseph along with former members Nick Thomas and Chris Salih, who left in 2011. The band’s current line-up features Joseph and drummer Josh Dun. In 2009 and 2011, they released two albums, Twenty One Pilots and Regional at Best.
The band eventually signed a record deal with the label Fueled by Ramen in 2012.

In 2018, after one year on hiatus, the band released their fifth album, Trench. In 2021, following the established storyline of Trench, they released their sixth studio album, Scaled and Icy.
History
In 2009, college friends Tyler Joseph, Nick Thomas, and Chris Salih formed the band in Columbus, Ohio. The band’s name was inspired by Joseph’s study of All My Sons by Arthur Miller, a play about a man who finds equipment he manufactured for planes in WWII is faulty, and he must decide what to do: lose money and business by recalling them, or send them out anyway and hope for the best. The man sends them out, and twenty-one pilots die as a result.
Joseph explains that “he feels] like we are all constantly encountering moral crossroads where the decisions that benefit the “now” will have consequences down the road, but the decision that might seem tough and tolling right away will ultimately be more rewarding. What is our purpose for playing music? We are constantly asking ourselves that question. The answer can change all the time, but for right now we are just going to stick with something as simple as “we want to make people think.”
On December 29, 2009, the three member line up released their eponymous self titled album, Twenty One Pilots, and began to tour their home state of Ohio.
In mid 2011, Thomas and Salih left the band due to increasingly busy schedules as they chose to pursue careers elsewhere. Both left messages on the band’s Facebook page, with Chris Salih announcing the addition of Josh Dun to the band, a former live drummer for House of Heroes.
