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.

All of the tracks were eventually leaked to YouTube,[34] many of which had never been heard before. Most of the audio files lack vocals. The folder the tracks were in was titled "Old Demos 2011." 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".

The track "Blue Score 002" has been used as filler music for the Emotional Roadshow World Tour.[35]
