"When we first started out as The 1975, the reason everything was in black and white is because it was the juxtaposition I always talk about of poppy, uplifting music and an aesthetic that is more dour or provokes you to be more introspective or think about it - life-affirming music and visuals that make you think about life. Because we didn't really know who we were, we didn't really know what we were doing, we'd been told by every major label in the world that we didn't know what we were doing. And I think the black and white thing, we really found solace in the fact that we weren't a hundred percent exposed."

5 Questions With Twenty One Pilots

Written By: KristoffHart

So your first album, self-titled Twenty One Pilots, has some elements of hip hop, but on Vessel you all got a lot more into rapping and incorporating that hip hop vibe. Why do you think that is?

Josh Dun: That’s a good question. The first album was really fully written by Tyler, and it was actually before I even knew him. Both of us kinda grew up listening to all sorts of music, and that was one of them. I remember one of the first times that we ever had a conversation, he [Tyler] was talking about the whole rapping thing. It was more so this idea of writing and saying words and stuff, and then it gets to a point where there is too many. A lot of that stuff is really spoken word that is then layered on top of a drum beat, which then just happens to be called rap or hip hop. I think it really derives from not necessarily trying to go for that certain style, but really being able to fit a lot of things into a short amount of time. So as we write more and continue to grow, there’s more and more things to be said, which many times can translate more and more into hip hop. Also I think that for me, in the process of writing, I really like the idea of hip hop-sounding stuff just because I love listening to it, so sometimes I feel like I push our style that way a little more.

2012, great year for Twenty One Pilots. How quickly did things change for you guys after getting signed to Atlantic Records subsidiary, Fueled By Ramen?

Josh Dun: Well dating back even before 2012, Tyler and I started playing together in 2011 and we worked really hard to build a brand for ourselves and develop a local fan base, and to get this thing, on every level, to a point that we really felt comfortable with. We oversaw the merch designs, video content, even strategy with touring and social media. We were very involved in all of that. I think there are a lot of times when someone is like, “Aw my favorite band just got signed,” and they’re almost bummed out about it because they feel that they’re going to lose their favorite band or things are going to change a lot. I think the reason that is is because a lot of the time, there are some bands that don’t have certain things figured out, and so a label’s job is to come in and help to brand and market this band. And so of course, they’re going to say, you need to be more marketable in this area or you don’t know what to do on social media, and labels are super helpful in that. So sometimes the label has to take over because that band wasn’t doing anything to begin with. And so, coming alongside with them [Fueled By Ramen] was really cool for us because they let us maintain the ownership over all those areas. I always say that they came behind us and helped pushed us forward rather than come ahead of us and pull us along. Which is the way that I think you want it to happen. So, I think signing with them has been a really cool process, but I think it has been a lot of work. I think that’s another misconception that people have when signing to a label, that they’re done and they made it and the the label can take over now, and that’s not it at all. People were saying, when we were signing, now the work begins, and looking back now, I think that’s true. It’s been a lot of working with them.

So Tyler, you started this band in college. Any words for aspiring college musicians who want to achieve your level of success?

Tyler Joseph: This is what I’ve learned. There’s three major things: there is school, a job, and music. You need a job, you need a major, and you need band mates that let you do all three things. But eventually you’re going to have to pick two. The sooner you pick two, the better. So you got a job, school, and music. Most people let music go; I need a job, I need to keep going to school. So, I’m not saying if you take school out off the equation that you can work and play music. I’m not promoting people to drop out of school. I’m just saying, listen, do you have enough money to live? Where you can go to school and you can try to do stuff [gigs] on the weekends? You just have to figure out what your equation is because you only have so much time. And if you’re doing all three then you’re probably not putting enough time into any of them.

Josh Dun: That’s why I didn’t go to school!

You guys have been known for your visually enhanced shows from day one. You don’t see too many bands incorporate that type of stuff early on in their career. How important is it for you to have in your show and where will you go from here with that?

Tyler Joseph: Do you have the guts to do it is really the question. At a local level, do you have the guts to go into a venue and play in front of fifteen people and come out in a skeleton mask? But then not only that–you have to figure out how to balance it out. You can’t just come out and do something super dramatic and theatrical and be completely oblivious to your situation. When you’re playing in front of fifteen people, you have to then acknowledge the fact that you’re well aware that you’re playing in front of fifteen people. However you get that across. It really is a skill that we’ve been trying to hone in on. It’s being able to lighten the mood, and let everyone say, “Okay, these guys are real,” but then training an audience to know to get into a headspace of being able to receive the message that’s inside the song. It’s never funny, I’m never writing anything funny because I’m not funny, but we try to interact in a way that’s lighthearted or [with] some comedy in it that kind of relieves the audience.

Josh Dun: As a band starting out, I don’t know why you wouldn’t go on stage and try and make people remember it. Make it different, make it stand out, be creative in how you approach the performance. I don’t know how to play any other way. So to Tyler and I, that’s what feels the most natural.

How do you impress your peers?

Josh Dun: I just dye my hair. That’s it, I just try and impress him [Tyler]. I just show up at his house with colored hair and I’m like, “Please, please be impressed.”

Tyler Joseph: You should get a tattoo that says “please be impressed.”

Josh Dun: I hope this tattoo is impressive. I think I might do it!

Tyler Joseph: But yeah, we travel with friends and we get to go home to our families as much as we can, and they keep us level headed. So as much as we try to impress them, and no matter how much traction and success we see, we have so many people around us that will look at us and say, “Who do you think you are?” So we don’t have room to get a big head.

Josh Dun: I think more than trying to impress people, I get more pleasure out of making somebody laugh. So when you’re hanging out with your friends, laughter is important to life. If you can say something that’s funny or do something that’s ridiculous, it’ll make people laugh. So many people struggle with dark thoughts, depression, and internal pain. I’m not an expert on it, but I know that if I’m ever feeling down, if someone can make me laugh, it really is a cure to those thoughts. So just making someone laugh.
