‘The Only Band In The World’ is the new, authorised book on Twenty One Pilots. Having been granted access to the world of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun for nearly a decade, author and former Rock Sound Editor and Creative Director Ryan Bird has documented the pair’s meteoric rise more closely and intimately than any music journalist on the planet.
From being given a front-row seat throughout the culture-shifting phenomenon of ‘Blurryface’, to working with the pair on their incredible cover of My Chemical Romance’s ‘Cancer’, to enjoying access-all-areas privileges across the campaign for ‘Trench’, Ryan’s emotive and powerful stories have given fans across the world a rare and unique glimpse into the heart and soul of one of the world’s most important bands.
Produced with the approval of Tyler and Josh, ‘The Only Band In The World’ brings ten years of stories and conversations between the three men together for the first time, combining an array of rare interviews, intimate and revealing features, as well as new and exclusive material produced specially for this book.
