Johnny Boy — is the debut EP from Twenty One Pilots, which is set for release on May 4, 2009. The existence of the album was confirmed by some old listeners of the band and some acquaintances of Tyler Joseph's relatives, mainly brother Zach.
Recording
Johnny Boy is a mini-album recorded in the winter-spring of 2009 in a home studio in Tyler Joseph's basement and a home studio in Chris Salih's house. The EP features songs composed between October 2008 and early spring 2009. From Tyler's words[1] and interviews with his father[2], it can be assumed that the songs «Johnny Boy» and «Air Catcher» were conceived and written by Tyler in late 2008.
Judging from recordings of the songs from the EP by a Reddit user who has the original mini-album CD, all songs except Air Catcher sound the same as on the debut album only the mixing differs in that Tyler's voice is louder than the instrumental,
Distribution
The album was recorded in the homemade recording studio in the basement of the house that Tyler Joseph, Nick Thomas, Chris Salih, and Nick's brother were staying in at the time. The lyrics of the album were mainly written by Joseph, with only small changes being suggested by the other two members, while the music was written and arranged by all three.

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 31 December 2009 on the band's MySpace for free download.
