Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The band Twenty One Pilots was formed in 2009 in a large capital city within the United States. Home of the Buckeyes sports teams, in what city was Twenty One Pilots formed?

Answer: Columbus, Ohio

Twenty One Pilots was formed by three college friends from Ohio State University in Columbus. The band released their debut album "Twenty One Pilots" in 2009 and toured throughout their home state of Ohio. Other popular bands that were formed in Columbus, Ohio include Rascal Flatts and The Black Swans.
2. The three founding members of Twenty One Pilots were Tyler Joseph as lead vocalist and keyboardist, Chris Salih on drums, and Nick Thomas on bass guitar. In 2011 Chris and Nick left the band and a new drummer was signed on. Who is this drummer whose last name sounds like a football player named Warrick?

Answer: Josh Dun

Interestingly, Josh Dun actually worked with the band's former drummer Chris Salih at a music retail store called Guitar Center and this was how he was introduced to the band. Prior to working with Twenty One Pilots Josh Dun worked with the band House of Heroes. After Josh Dun had played a few shows with Tyler Joseph they decided to become a duo and retain the Twenty One Pilots name.
3. Seeming to not have an idea about the future success they would have, what was the name of the second album from Twenty One Pilots which was released in 2011?

Answer: Regional at Best

"Regional at Best" was released in July 2011 but the band's popularity really came about in November of the same year after they performed at Newport Music Hall in Columbus. Several record label personnel were at the show including Atlantic Records who Twenty Pilots would sign with shortly after.
4. Tyler Joseph came up with the band name of Twenty One Pilots while reading a play in college. In which of Arthur Miller's plays does the character of Joe Keller cause the death of 21 pilots after his factory provides faulty parts to the military?

Answer: All My Sons

Tyler Joseph explained that he chose the band name because of how Arthur Miller describes the lead character's moral dilemma of choosing between the easy and right decision in "All My Sons". In the story by Arthur Miller the character of Joe Keller at first denies any wrongdoing in the death of the pilots citing his other accomplishments but over time he feels remorse and eventually he takes his own life.
5. The third studio album released by Twenty One Pilots was their first while utilizing a major label, namely Fueled by Ramen. Likely not recorded while at sea, what was the name of this 2013 album?

Answer: Vessel

For a few years following the release of "Vessel" Twenty One Pilots toured within the United States and abroad including playing at festivals like Lollapalooza. In 2013 the album reached number 21 on the US Billboard 200.
6. The second half of the quiz will be about song lyrics from Twenty One Piots. The popularity of Twenty Pilots skyrocketed in 2015 with the release of their "Blurryface" album. Which song was released as a single the same day as the album's release and included the lines: "I truly don't have a chance Tomorrow I'll keep a beat And repeat yesterday's dance"?

Answer: Fairly Local

Tyler Joseph has stated that the album "Blurryface" is named after a character created by the band that represents people's insecurities and that the black paint he wears in concerts is a representation of this. "Fairly Local" peaked at number 84 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the song makes several references to mental illness and self-discovery.
7. The first single released by Twenty One Pilots reached number ten on the Billboard Alternative Top 40 in 2012. What was this song that includes the line "You are surrounding all my surroundings twisting the kaleidoscope behind both of my eyes"?

Twenty One Pilot's "Blurryface" album was a big hit and its top ranking single from the album was "Stressed Out" which peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100.
