Judith and I went to a concert to surprise a friend two weeks ago. And we found ourselves liking the music a lot more than we thought we would. That is why we are going to share our sudden discovery of this band : Twenty One Pilots.
A quick description of their music : Ukulélé screamo rap.
We should warn you they don't have the happiest lyrics ever but they use words like "therefore" or "kaleidoscope" in their music, which contrasts with most lyrics in today's music.
They perfectly express their state of minds through music. And, they can make a show. And what a show! They can include saltos, costumes, singing and playing drums on top of the crowd and strong emotions.
There are two of them : Tyler Joseph, singer, piano, guitar, bass, ukulélé player. And his best friend Josh Dunn, who plays the drums and the trumpets. They last released an album called Blurryface, and one of the songs is sometimes played on the radio, so you might know "Stressed out" by them.
Here's some of our favourite quotes :
"Are you searching for purpose?
Then write something, yeah it might be worthless
Then paint something then, it might be wordless
Pointless curses, nonsense verses
You'll see purpose start to surface"
Then write something, yeah it might be worthless
Then paint something then, it might be wordless
Pointless curses, nonsense verses
You'll see purpose start to surface"
"Does it bother anyone else
That someone else has your name?"
That someone else has your name?"
" Our brains are sick but that's okay "
"Domingo en fuego, I think I lost my halo"

Thanks for the article!
twenty one pilots is one of my favourite bands and I'm actually going to see them in concert in November! their self-titled album is quite different from Blurryface, their most recent album, but it's my favourite even though it's their first and less known one (I sound like a Hipster, sorry ;))
ReplyDeleteRight now, my top 3 is : 1. fall away 2 Car Radio 3 Kitchen Sink
I think that most people that like twenty one pilots could like as well bands like Panic! At The Disco or singers like Melanie Martinez, it's similar :)
That's my favorite band !! I discovered them two years ago and I went to one of their concert in Toronto with my grand mother and she really enjoyed it (I felt really proud for some reason). It was the best day of my life to be honest.
