Twenty One Pilots win Artist Of The Year at 2016 APMAs

Ohio natives Twenty One Pilots have won Artist Of The Year, presented by Monster Energy, at the 2016 Alternative Press Music Awards!

“We're bummed that we can't be there because you're in Columbus, which is where we're from,” says Josh Dun.

Tyler Joseph adds, “We're honored to be involved, especially with all the other bands nominated with us.”
