FLASHBACK: Criteria
Steve Pedersen returned to Omaha in 2003 after finishing law school then retreated to a basement for six months recording what would become Criteria's debut album, En Garde.
He recruited local musicians including AJ Mogis (Lullaby For The Working Class), Mike Sweeney (Beep Beep), and Aaron Druery. With their help, Criteria became a full fledged rock outfit.
Saddle Creek took Criteria in during 2005, re-releasing En Garde and their second record, When We Break.
