Craig's Brother puts a new spin on punk rock. Instead of the snotty anger we've come to expect from the form, this band spills its feelings all over these tracks of rat-a-tat drumming and chugging guitars. Call it "emo-punk," if you like. The songs on Homecoming are about real people. In fact, many of the titles--such as "Gus" and "Dear Charlotte"--have people's names in them, suggesting this is no work of fiction. In place of the rasp that usually passes for punk vocals, the members of Craig's Brother sing. And harmonize. Sometimes it even sounds like a traditional pop band trapped within a punk group (but don't tell any of their hardcore friends that). Where many punk records just make you want to break something after listening to them, Craig's Brother might cause you to reflect upon deep thoughts. It leaves you with the warm fuzzies--without the fuzzy part.
