What better way to reconnect with an old bandmate than to have him publicly test (and potentially expose) the limits of your musical knowledge? Stephen joined the latest episode of Musical Puke. See how much trivia he could stomach. youtu.be/3-bQbK-OaCQ

Climb the Music Trivia Pyramid with Stephen Pedersen of Criteria! | Musical Puke

Can one man/musician/lawyer scale a music trivia pyramid? How about...

Huge thanks to @HomersMusicNE for the continued support. Stephen and his son Soren dropped off 20 signed copies of SEIZE!, so if you’re anywhere near the Omaha area, head down and grab one before they’re gone!

I’m a big joyful dork over the release of SEIZE! I hope it gives you the same intense feelings of catharsis and hope that I felt making it. Here’s to the healing power of ROCK music! Take excellent care, Stephen

Our new single “I Am the End” is streaming everywhere now! The song is about those moments where something falls apart and you’re forced to confront your role in it. Sometimes the ending doesn’t just happen to you. Sometimes you are the ending. orcd.co/iamthend

Our new music video for “I Am the End” is out now! A brief and hopefully funny reflection on the tiny daily miseries of adult life. Keeping a straight face through it all and pretending everything is fine when it very clearly is not. Sound familiar? youtu.be/Kr1hkCMN9wU
