The Poster Boy were a Hungarian indie rock band from Budapest, Hungary. The band's line-up was Imre Poniklo from the Budapest-based indie-rock band Amber Smith, Noel R. Mayer from the alternative rock band, The Walrus, and Michael Zwecker from the Pécs-based alternative rock band Kispál És A Borz. The band members decided to form a band while chatting about the Hungarian indie scene in a bar in Budapest. In a couple of months they wrote several songs which were recorded in late 2011.

On 19 January 2012, The Poster Boy released Things We Had Time For which is a song cycle. The album was recorded by Eszter Polyák and some bits by We Are Rockstars and The Puzzle singer-songwriter György Ligeti. The mastering was completed at the Abnormal studios in Pesterzsébet, Hungary. The band asked Vivek Chugh to come up with a cover. The album was available on the band Bandcamp site. The band doesn’t strive to reinvent music; only to write and record good songs.

On 14 July 2012, the band's physical debut album, Melody, was released by Firestation Records in Berlin and Bell Boy Productions in Barcelona. The idea came from Serge Gainsbourg's Histoire de Melody Nelson. The CD features three new tracks (Melody, Only A Test and It's Over) as well as six tracks from Things We Had Time For. The full album was available on the band's Bandcamp site for download.Only A Test and Melody were recorded at the Abnormal Studios and were mixed by György Ligeti. The cover art was made by Esther Olóndriz. The band invited Zsolt Derecskei to play the keys on Only A Test and to sing on Melody.
