Twenty One Pilots’ audience consists mostly of teenagers and young adults, and this is due to their lyrics resonating deeply and truly capturing what it’s like to grow up and go against the grain. So how did this world domination come to be from two guys from Columbus, Ohio? They’ve sold out shows at Madison Square Garden for two nights, as well as London’s famous Alexandra Palace, forcing the band to add a second date at the venue.
