Twenty One Pilots (album): Difference between revisions

[[Chris Salih]] and [[Tyler Joseph]] met in 2008 at a party through mutual friends. Chris liked the way Tyler plays and sings and suggested making music together. They played several times in Chris's homemade recording studio and then they decided to form a band. Tyler later invited Nick Thomas to join the band as a bassist. In the fall of 2008, the group begins to rehearse songs that Tyler wrote. Tyler Joseph mentioned at the [[05.01.2010|May 1, 2010]] concert that the first song he showed Chris Salih was «[[Air Catcher|Air Catcher»]]. Up until early spring 2009 Tyler wrote music and songs in his basement at home and then they played them together in Chris's home studio and occasionally performed their songs live. Also at that time Tyler wrote «[[Johnny Boy]]» to his father describing him and supporting him during the global crisis of 2008, which was told by Joseph's father himself in an interview.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncXoN1_7Vps</ref>
