Prehistory

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 May 1, 2010 concert that the first song he showed Chris Salih was 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.

Recording

In winter - spring 2009 the band recorded some demo songs in Chris' studio and unofficially released the Johnny Boy EP on May 4, 2009. Most of the music and lyrics were written by Tyler, bass and drums were not recorded live, Chris' drumming triggered into the software EZ Drummer.

Unreleased songs

"Time to Say Goodbye" this song should have made it onto the album, but because of the samples from Italian singer Andrea Bocelli's song "Con te partirò" sung in duet with Sarah Brightman. But still the song was released in early 2010 on the band's official website for free download.
