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.

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.
