Shuttered Room is the debut studio album by British new wave band the Fixx, released on 14 May 1982.
It contains the group's debut single (in the United States), "Stand or Fall", which hit the Top 10 of Billboard's Album Rock Tracks as well as #79 on the Hot 100. Its follow-up US single was "Red Skies", although this was their debut single in the UK market. Both songs were aided by popular MTV music videos.
