Terrible Things is the debut album by alternative rock supergroup Terrible Things. The lineup during the recording consisted of former Taking Back Sunday guitarist and The Color Fred lead vocalist Fred Mascherino, guitarist and vocalist Andy Jackson from Hot Rod Circuit, and drummer Josh Eppard from Coheed and Cambria fame.
Composition
"Lullaby" was originally a song by Mascherino's former group Breaking Pangaea, and "Terrible Things" was originally a song by The Color Fred, Mascherino's solo project. Originally called "Initials" the band later changed their name to "Terrible Things" as well as the album title, in addition to the song name. Lynam frontman Jacob Bunton has recorded the bass and piano on the album as the band didn't have a permanent bassist at the time.

Terrible Things was released on August 31, 2010. In late September and early October 2011, the band toured Australia as part of the Soundwave Counter-Revolution festival.[2]
