*is back

band is a collective noun


Wrong...the name of a band refers to a group of people, so 'are' is appropriate.

Even then, 21 Pilots isn't a band, it's a duo.

No, it's a collective noun. Plural verbs are usually used for collective nouns in British English. In American English singular verbs are usually used.
