Name change
After much consideration and new thinking, Fixed Til Tuesday changed their name to I Am Terrified. The name comes straight from the Bible verse Job 23:14-15 which reads, "He carries out His decree against me, and many such plans He still has in store. That is why I am terrified before Him; when I think of all this, I fear Him." and as guitarist Jeremy Folse explains they changed the name because they became driven "by the desire to give God straight-up worship, and to show the love of Christ to every kid we can possibly reach."I Am Terrified
