The Only Band in the World

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 rise more closely and intimately than any other journalist on the planet.

From being given a front-row seat throughout the culture-shifting phenomenon of Blurryface and its successor Trench, to working with the pair on their incredible cover of My Chemical Romance’s ‘Cancer’, to a raw and startlingly honest journey through the world of Scaled And Icy, 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.

Re-released to mark a decade of collaboration, this extended edition of The Only Band In The World brings countless hours of conversations between the three men together, combining rare and never-before-published interviews, intimate features, and new and exclusive material produced specially for this book.
