2011

  • Air Catcher was first released on an EP called Johnny Boy. The EP was distributed to attendees at a "Battle of the Bands" event on November 10, 2009. Over a month later, the song would appear on the band's debut album.[1]
  • The version that appears on Johnny Boy is slightly different than the one released on Twenty One Pilots.[2]

  • Online uploads of the "Studio Version" are usually given de facto titles like "Alternate Version" or "Alternative Version";[3] however, the file name titles it as "Air Catcher (Studio Version)".
  • The studio version was recorded after Twenty One Pilots and before Regional at Best.
  • It has also been erroneously stated that the track was never released by the band; however, in 2011, Twenty One Pilots uploaded "Air Catcher (Studio Version)" to their website for free download, amongst other tracks.[4] The other tracks that were made available were: the band's cover of "Jar of Hearts"; "Time to Say Goodbye", a single; and "Slowtown", "Car Radio", and "Trees", which would eventually appear on the Regional at Best album.

The EP was handed out on November 10, 2009, at a "Battle of The Bands" performance.[1] "Time to Say Goodbye" was originally going to be included on the first full album, but was ultimately pulled due to copyright issues.[20][21]

The filenames of the tracks are as follows: "bellkit.mp3", "Blue Score 002.mp3", "Classic.mp3", "Creepy.mp3", "Disco.mp3", "pianobeat.mp3", "Regg.mp3", "Techno2.mp3", "webseries001.wav", "webseries002.wav", "webseries003.wav", "webseries004.wav", "webseries005.wav", and "webseries006.wav".
