When We Break

VINYL FORMAT. By day, Criteria's Stephen Pedersen is entrenched in the beige, climate-controlled world of corporate law. By night, he tirelessly melds face-searing riffs with pounding, syncopated drums, awaiting a rock 'n' roll miracle. He needn't wait for that miracle any longer. And neither must you. This is the band's second full-length; a startling display of fist-pumping anthems and contagious melodies bent on shaking the ass of the most coolly aloof listener. Two words: big rock.
