The first question that comes up in every interview is about the origin of the band name. In the fall of 2014 Faith Head founder, Patrick Shipley aka PFunk, was driving between cities (Charlotte / Atlanta or Atlanta / Birmingham, can't remember which) when the inspiration hit him. He was listening to Dr. Michael Ramsden of RZIM.org on the radio. After his last band, Patrick wasn't sure if he was going to pursue music anymore. 

 Dr. Ramsden makes the statement "the world thinks we're all just a bunch of Faith Heads." The term rattled around in his head for hours. After consulting the Urban Dictionary, the inspiration came to start a new musical project called Faith Head. Soon after he developed the logo and started putting together a band.

Calling someone a "faith head" has a negative connotation. According to the Urban Dictionary, a faith dead is defined as “someone who holds irrational religious fundamentalist beliefs and no matter what evidence is provided to the contrary will never change.” We are taking this name on as the 21st century version of a “Jesus Freak” just as the Roman's referred to the disciples as "Christians" (little Christs).
