The You Maketh Me Challenge
Can you sing it? Record your version of the chorus from Criteria’s “You Maketh Me” — straight, weird, beautiful, or ridiculous — for a shot at signed vinyl, merch, and a reshare from the band.

Sing it. Scream it. Make it weird.
“You Maketh Me” has one of those choruses that lodges in your head and refuses to leave. Now we want to hear you do it — full band, acoustic, a cappella, in the car, in the shower. We genuinely don’t care how. We just want to hear what this song sounds like when it’s not Stephen singing it.
