Thousand Foot Krutch (often abbreviated TFK) is a Canadian Christian rock band formed in 1995. They have released eight albums. They have also released one live album and three remix albums. Singer Trevor McNevan and drummer Steve Augustine are also members of their own side project band called FM Static, and Joel Bruyere started his own solo project called The Drawing Room in 2009. The band has sold a million albums as of February 2014. (More from Wikipedia)
A Catholic blogger called Man in the Woods has a post that lists “The 13 Best Theological Band Names”. He opens his post this way: “How is it that many of the following bands on this list – who are anything but religious – seem more Catholic in their imagination than many Christians who likewise select religious band names? To put it another way, why is it that artists who seem least inclined to religion can come up with names that are remarkably theological, while those with far more of a taste for it come up with impotent names like Thousand Foot Krutch or Blessid Union of Souls? It is an interesting question and it demands a response. In part, I think the answer has something to do with the overall genericization of the Christian message, the sacramental gutting, if you will, of the deeply rooted theological language of the historical Faith.”
