We’ve all worked with that guy.
The one who thinks he’s got it all figured out.
Until the cracks begin to show.

You know exactly who we’re talking about.

We’re proud to welcome Omaha’s CRITERIA to the Spartan family!

Formed by Stephen Pedersen following his departure from Cursive, Criteria have always existed between melody and weight, control and collapse, moving only when there was something real enough to justify it.

Their new album SEIZE!, the band’s first new record in over five years, is a pristinely heavy document shaped by endings, change, and the urgency to capture life while it’s still unfolding.

Watch the music video for “You Maketh Me” and pre-order SEIZE! on limited edition vinyl or as part of an exclusive t-shirt bundle, including an EU exclusive variant via Thirty Something Records and UK pre-orders through Devil Dog Distro.

Pre-order now: spr.tn/criteria

It’s been over 25 years since they did this, and seeing Six Going On Seven holding a brand new record again finally makes it real. "Human Tears" is available now, and there are very limited quantities of the Iridescent Green variant left. Thank you for being here, and grab one while you can. spr.tn/6GO7
