Number 7 on my list of the Top 13 Punk Rock songs is Divorce by Craig’s Brother. Unfortunately, at the time of this writing, there are unresolved issues with GEMA and YouTube. So here’s a live version of the band performing the song instead of the album version.
- Position: 7 (of 13)
- Song Title: Divorce*
- Band: Craig’s Brother
- On Album: Lost At Sea*
- Year: 2001
- Lyrics: Craig’s Brother – Divorce
Although quite unknown, Craig’s Brother wrote a lot of really great punk rock songs, in my opinion. Divorce was the first one I listened to and I was instantly hooked. The melodic vocals and their diversified instrument parts add up to some really catchy songs.
I really like the 2001 version better than the “original” one from Keepin’ It Real. I think the newer version sounds more mature. But decide for yourself.
Lost At Sea* contains quite some more really good songs. In fact, it was hard for me to decide which song to choose for this list. Glory* ranked high on my list, too.
But Craig’s Brother also released a new album a while ago (The Insidious Lie*, 2011, which is completely FREE on Amazon Prime*, by the way) and they continue to rock! Take The Thousand Yard Stare*, for example. How can it get more melodic than this chorus?
