This deal was announced in a video on April 30, 2012. The band received many offers before ultimately choosing to sign with Fueled by Ramen, an imprint of Atlantic Records. That November, the band played in a sold out Newport Music Hall in Columbus Ohio, which attracted a dozen record labels.
The album's released was accompanied by a release show at New Albany High School. The road to the release and immediate impact were documented in a web series posted to YouTube. On July 8, 2011, the band released their second album, Regional at Best, now featuring the talents of Josh Dun.
Both left messages on the band's Facebook page, with Chris Salih announcing the addition of Josh Dun to the band, a former live drummer for House of Heroes. In mid 2011, Thomas and Salih left the band due to increasingly busy schedules as they chose to pursue careers elsewhere.

The man sends them out and twenty-one pilots die as a result. The band's name was inspired by Joseph's study of All My Sons by Arthur Miller, a play about a man that finds equipment he manufactured for planes in WWII is faulty and he must decide what to do-lose money and business by recalling them or send them out anyway and hope for the best. In 2009, college friends Tyler Joseph, Nick Thomas and Chris Salih formed the band in Columbus, Ohio.
