Tyler wrestles with Blurryface, fails to shake him off and is pursued by him. The songs in this album are accompanied by dark and powerful videos, executing a red and black colour scheme. The way it grabs you round the throat and you are stifled and restricted by its Tyler’s voice morphs into a low-pitched slur.įor part of the representation of Blurryface, Tyler paints his neckīlack, which for me symbolises the crippling effect of depression and anxiety, You know when he appears in the songs because Is the part of us we don’t want to be our nemesis, our anxious alter-ego. Blurryface – The Pivotal Albumįourth album Blurryface is named after a character invented by the band. By alluding to their own flaws, they have created a bond with the out-of-the-box misfits who relate to the metaphorical struggles they execute in their songs. The identity of the “Skeleton Clique” ( Clikkies) was given to the fans by the duo themselves. The band has a unique relationship with its fans and in 2017, even won an APMA award for the most dedicated fan base. In the story, Twenty One Pilots were killed after a man knowingly sent out faulty aircraft parts during World War II, to protect the name of his family business. ‘Twenty One Pilots’ is a reference to the play “ All My Sons” by Arthur Miller.

I soon realised that TOP goes way beyond music it is an identity full of metaphors, characters, symbols and colour, all put out with the unselfconscious conviction of Tyler and Josh. It started off as a simple tune with a bluegrass vibe, then the bridge hit me with its quirky harmonies and interval-jumping falsetto melody. I first discovered TOP when my daughter asked me to listen to a song called House of Gold. Like Panic! at the Disco, the original band was larger but after two band members left in 2011, Twenty One Pilots has become an unstoppable duo.

Josh joined the band and the original line-up soon became two, the two that are now so synonymously linked that they even have each other’s names tattooed on their knee. Tyler Joseph sings, raps, plays piano, bass and ukulele. Josh Dun is a self-taught drummer who met Tyler at a gig given by the first incarnation of the band.

Twenty One Pilots are the ground-breaking duo from Colombus, Ohio. If, like Jamie, you don’t know what I am talking about then let me bring you into the world of Twenty One Pilots and share something I have never experienced before. Bandanas secured across our faces and clutching yellow Gerberas we headed out to meet our kind…. We pulled on khaki hoodies and carefully applied yellow duct tape to strategic parts of of our bodies. … Our planned escape from the car park was perfectly executed. So, I will let Helen take the stage and tell you about Twenty One Pilots… Helen shared so much about the band that I felt you need to hear it, too. I was hooked on the story and wanted to know more. I wasn’t convinced until she started telling the back story to the band, their fan culture, imagery and hidden meanings in their albums. My friend Helen keeps telling me to listen to Twenty One Pilots.
