Perfecting a genre-busting approach to alternative rock, Twenty One Pilots weave hip-hop, electronic, pop, punk, and rock together in a thrilling blend that is often enriched by a deep fictional mythology that serves as a metaphor for the real-world struggles and emotions at the music's core. Emerging from Columbus, Ohio on the strength of a sizable grassroots following, Twenty One Pilots cycled through lineups and styles before the core duo of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun made their mainstream breakthrough with their chart-topping fourth effort, 2015's Blurryface. Featuring the Grammy-winning single "Stressed Out" and its follow-up chart hit "Ride," the release was certified multi-platinum and became one of the best-selling albums in the world that year. Their 2018 follow-up, Trench, fared nearly as well, going platinum and peaking at number two. The band enjoyed a couple more chart-topping hits prior to 2021's Scaled and Icy and the lore-expanding 2024 set Clancy.
