The ultimate new music countdown – every Friday!
twenty one pilots' new song, Level Of Concern, is fast approaching…
Well, that didn't take long, did it? After announcing on April 6 that there'd be a new twenty one pilots song arriving soon, Tyler Joseph has confirmed it'll be coming – along with a video – today.
The track goes by the name Level Of Concern, with Tyler and drummer Josh Dun working on it remotely, sending each other files to piece it all together (while also letting Twitter know that that's what they were doing).

Previously, Tyler revealed, “Always writing, but this one feels like it should just come out now,” adding that Level Of Concern is the “first song” he’s ever written on an electric guitar, and “it’s simple but hopeful”.
“Give me a few days to finish it up,” he added. “Good rule of thumb is to never give yourself a deadline so tweeting about it kind of just added pressure, it’s not done yet.”
The frontman also announced that he was going to do his part for those who have been affected by coronavirus, writing that he wants “a portion of whatever money this song makes to go to this charity I saw called Crew Nation. It provides funding for people who work in the live music industry who don’t have a job right now.
“No-one knows when live music will get back on its feet,” he continued. “I’ve met so many amazing people working venues and touring with bands. Hopefully we can do something to help some through this song.”
