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.

The Classic Crime Lyrics
A young man lacking sense
Sells his soul to circumstance
His movements indecise
He does not know that it will cost his life
She's a harlot
Boisterous and rebellious
Her husband gone, this father's daughter
Leads the young man to the slaughter
In shadows you sleep
Too careless to see
The things that matter most (ghost, ghost)
So much that when you are faced the truth
You look like you've seen a ghost (ghost, ghost)
A young man lacking sense
Pushes on to consequences
He lives to feed his flesh
The scavengers will clean up what is left
She's a harlot
Simple and persuasive
With seduction she always gets her way
Her bed will be his early grave
In shadows you sleep
Too careless to see
The things that matter most (ghost, ghost)
So much that when you are faced the truth
You look like you've seen a ghost (ghost, ghost)
But I still know the shadows evidence the glow
But I still know
Ghost (ghost)
Ghost
I'll only be your ghost
I'll only get so close
I'll only be your ghost
(Ghost)
In shadows we sleep
(I'll only be your ghost)
Too careless to see
(I'll only get so close)
When faced with the truth
(I'll only be your ghost)
Sells his soul to circumstance
His movements indecise
He does not know that it will cost his life
She's a harlot
Boisterous and rebellious
Her husband gone, this father's daughter
Leads the young man to the slaughter
In shadows you sleep
The things that matter most (ghost, ghost)
So much that when you are faced the truth
You look like you've seen a ghost (ghost, ghost)
A young man lacking sense
Pushes on to consequences
He lives to feed his flesh
The scavengers will clean up what is left
She's a harlot
Simple and persuasive
With seduction she always gets her way
Her bed will be his early grave
In shadows you sleep
Too careless to see
The things that matter most (ghost, ghost)
So much that when you are faced the truth
You look like you've seen a ghost (ghost, ghost)
But I still know the shadows evidence the glow
But I still know
Ghost (ghost)
Ghost
I'll only be your ghost
I'll only get so close
I'll only be your ghost
(Ghost)
In shadows we sleep
(I'll only be your ghost)
Too careless to see
(I'll only get so close)
When faced with the truth
(I'll only be your ghost)

You guys were my favorite band as a kid and I've just now thought of checking back on you. And honestly I can see how I fell in love with your music long ago, and I still adore it. Amazing work.
