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
When I’m alone with no words to say
Sometimes I sit and just watch the rain come down
I’m waiting by the window now
It’s been awhile
I remember back when I was eight
So many hours in a single day I’d wait
Tapping on the fish tank
And watching them swim away
So what would it feel like
To be bored again
Waiting on a friend
With no distractions
We’re not gonna get any younger
Let’s slow it down
Waste some time in the here and now
It’s not over yet
We’ll get older and realize
The little things we did to kill some time
Became the greatest highlights
As I get older and the weeks fly by
I try to catch up but I blink my eyes
And now I’m 35
Forgetting what it’s like
To watch the tide roll in from the ocean
So what would happen if we tried to make it stop
Watch the ticking of the clock
Move in slow motion
We’re not gonna get any younger
Let’s slow it down
Waste some time in the here and now
It’s not over yet
We’ll get older and realize
The little things we did to kill some time
Became the greatest highlights
Highlights, Highlights
Highlights
It’s never gonna stop now
So we gotta slow it down
Get off this merry-go-round
(Merry-go-round)
With some time to kill
It’s never gonna stop now
So we gotta slow it down
Get off this merry-go-round
Every moment now
Is a highlight reel
We’re not gonna get any younger
Let’s slow it down
Waste some time in the here and now
It’s not over yet
We’ll get older and realize
The little things we did to kill some time
Became the greatest highlights
Sometimes I sit and just watch the rain come down
I’m waiting by the window now
It’s been awhile
I remember back when I was eight
So many hours in a single day I’d wait
Tapping on the fish tank
And watching them swim away
So what would it feel like
To be bored again
With no distractions
We’re not gonna get any younger
Let’s slow it down
Waste some time in the here and now
It’s not over yet
We’ll get older and realize
The little things we did to kill some time
Became the greatest highlights
As I get older and the weeks fly by
I try to catch up but I blink my eyes
And now I’m 35
Forgetting what it’s like
To watch the tide roll in from the ocean
So what would happen if we tried to make it stop
Watch the ticking of the clock
Move in slow motion
We’re not gonna get any younger
Let’s slow it down
Waste some time in the here and now
It’s not over yet
We’ll get older and realize
The little things we did to kill some time

Just recently discovered this band and their lack of fame greatly disappoints me. Top of the list for most underrated bands I know.

Massively Underrated since the beginning. Been listening to Matt and the crew since Albatross or a year after. Get excited. New album coming shortly. Subscribe and follow everywhere if you haven't already this way Matt knows to keep making music for us. Makes the days more enjoyable than they already can be.

I've known them for more than 10 years now, and I still can't believe how unknown they are... My favourite band when I was 14, I'm 25 and they're still my favourite band!

Chinedum Josiah I agree man. I’ve been listening to them since 2009. I just wish more people heard this sound. My favorite band of all time.
