They released their Tooth & Nail debut album, 'Albatross', in 2006. It marked the fastest first-week sales for a new artist in the history of T&N. The band members are Matt MacDonald (vocals), Justin DuQue (guitar), Robert "Cheeze" Negrin (guitar), Alan Clark (bass), and Paul "Skip" Erickson (drums).
While touring in support of their full-length album Albatross, the band created the Acoustic EP: Seattle Sessions, which was simply a compilation of songs they created while on the road.
Their next album, 'The Silver Cord', was released on July 22, 2008. With the album being based on the realities of life and death, it signals a move into an alternative genre for TCC. Exactly 5805 copies of 'The Silver Cord' were sold in the first week. 5805 is a significant number because it is a song title on the album and it is the address of the house where the band formed and began to break out.
In 2010, 'Vagabonds' was released.

Destroy Create
The Classic Crime Lyrics
Goodbyes were said
Before I lost all sense of consequence
At midnight tearing down
I hold it under
By the neck
The cold eyed creature of my consciousness
Can't sleep before it drowns
I hold it under
It took years to get this good
At sending myself into oblivion
Into oblivion
I am almost there
I am almost there again
If I don't wanna die
Why do I need the nothing?
Who am I anyway?
Why do I always have to destroy to create
Backstage in the mirror
(Oh, I bet you are!)
Caught up in stories about how my former glory is lost
And how I used to be better
(You were never good!)
I agree but that still leaves me with two choices
And one, is isolate myself and drink too much and burn it down
And two, is to just quit
But I can't do it
I've over committed
So number one it is
Right or wrong, the map that finds these songs
Always sends me into oblivion
Looking for a light
In this darkness
All the lonely nights
Traveling into oblivion
Before I lost all sense of consequence
At midnight tearing down
I hold it under
By the neck
The cold eyed creature of my consciousness
Can't sleep before it drowns
I hold it under
At sending myself into oblivion
Into oblivion
I am almost there
I am almost there again
If I don't wanna die
Why do I need the nothing?
Who am I anyway?
Why do I always have to destroy to create
Backstage in the mirror
(Oh, I bet you are!)
Caught up in stories about how my former glory is lost
And how I used to be better
(You were never good!)
I agree but that still leaves me with two choices
And one, is isolate myself and drink too much and burn it down
And two, is to just quit
But I can't do it
I've over committed
So number one it is
Right or wrong, the map that finds these songs
Always sends me into oblivion
Looking for a light
In this darkness
All the lonely nights
Traveling into oblivion

This song is heartbreaking. It's so hard to measure up the ridiculously high standards we set for ourselves. But Matt, all of TCC, Criminals around the world, someone out there loves you and you deserve to be happy :)

@DivaNERFThis Dang, years of being a fan and I never heard the term
DivaNERFThis
@Soupist Yes, that's what they refer to their fans as
Soupist
If they are the Classic Crime, does that make us as fans 'Criminals?'

I love 95% of TCC’s songs, and this is one of the best they’ve ever written.
