Welcome CRITERIA to the Spartan Family!
We’re proud to welcome Omaha’s CRITERIA to Spartan Records. Formed by Stephen Pedersen following his departure from Cursive, Criteria have always lived in the space between melody and weight, control and collapse, moving only when there was something real enough to justify it. SEIZE! is a pristinely heavy document shaped by endings, change, and the urgency to capture life while it is still unfolding. Pre-order SEIZE! on limited edition vinyl or as part of an exclusive t-shirt bundle: https://spr.tn/criteria - - - - - • Subscribe to our YouTube channel to keep up with our latest uploads: http://www.youtube.com/spartanrecords • Join the mailing list to stay up-to-date on the latest news, new music, releases, and more: http://www.spartanrecords.com • Check out our Instagram: http://instagram.com/spartanrecords • Like Spartan on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/spartanrecords • Follow Spartan on X: http://x.com/spartanrecords #Criteria #SEIZE #SpartanRecords
