Twenty One Pilots have released a new track called ‘Level of Concern’ – listen to it below.
The new single comes after frontman Tyler Joseph teased new material on Monday (April 6) by writing on Twitter: “Always writing, but this one feels like it should just come out now.”
While the tweet immediately sparked excitement among fans, Joseph then confirmed the release in a series of follow-up posts, confirming that “a portion of whatever money this song makes” will go to Crew Nation – a charity set up by Live Nation to help people working in the live music industry who have been hit by coronavirus.
first song i ever wrote on electric guitar.
i think it’s simple but hopeful.— tyler jøseph (@tylerrjoseph) April 5, 2020
give me a few days to finish it up.
a 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.— tyler jøseph (@tylerrjoseph) April 5, 2020
no one knows when live music will get back on its feet. i’ve met so many amazing people working venues and touring with bands. hopefully we can do something to help some through this song.

The duo have now shared new song ‘Level Of Concern’, which encourages hope during difficult times, specifically during the current Coronavirus Pandemic.
Some of the song’s lyrics sing: “Wondering, would you be my little quarantine, or is this the way it ends?”
Directed by longtime collaborator Reel Bear Media, watch the song’s video below:
Twenty One Pilots’ last album, ‘Trench’, came out in October 2018. The follow-up is yet to arrive, although the pair recently spoke about whether they will disappear while they work on the album’s follow-up, as they did for a year after the campaign for ‘Blurryface’ wrapped up.
“I don’t know if it would be that,” Dun said about the conception of their next album. “We’re both wired to always be wanting to do something that pushes us forward.”
