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
Angry ghosts keep me company
Eyes are closed but I'm awake
I can't sleep deeply
Unless I've been drinking
Enough to drown out what they say
And what they say is more than I can take
Oh, what a warped way to learn from my mistakes
There are patterns in the static
Noises in my attic
Voices in my head keep me awake
I'm on the brink of madness
And I can't help but laugh at this
Oh, what a way
Oh, what a way to learn from my mistakes
Nobody gets away with anything
All must bear the balance sheet
So I befriend the voices
They've taught me some songs I guess
But, oh how the truth stings when they speak
And what they say
Is more than I can take
Oh what a warped way to learn from my mistakes
Not awake but fighting sleep
I just hope
I can dream again
But there's patterns in the static
Noises in my attic
Voices in my head keep me awake
I'm on the brink of madness
And I can't help but laugh at this
Oh, what a way
Oh, what a way to learn from my mistakes
Eyes are closed but I'm awake
I can't sleep deeply
Unless I've been drinking
Enough to drown out what they say
And what they say is more than I can take
Oh, what a warped way to learn from my mistakes
There are patterns in the static
Voices in my head keep me awake
I'm on the brink of madness
And I can't help but laugh at this
Oh, what a way
Oh, what a way to learn from my mistakes
Nobody gets away with anything
All must bear the balance sheet
So I befriend the voices
They've taught me some songs I guess
But, oh how the truth stings when they speak
And what they say
Is more than I can take
Oh what a warped way to learn from my mistakes
Not awake but fighting sleep
I just hope
I can dream again
But there's patterns in the static
Noises in my attic
Voices in my head keep me awake
I'm on the brink of madness
And I can't help but laugh at this
Oh, what a way
Oh, what a way to learn from my mistakes

Best gift I've ever gotten on a Friday morning 💙💙💙
Daniel Ritchie
Just discovered this band about a week ago. Really good stuff
Mxleuphoria
The silver cord is full of hits, all their stuff is AMAZING

Daniel Ritchie oh boy Daniel. You’re in for a treat. You’ve got to check out their entire discography. I don’t think there has been an album they’ve put out that’s sub-par.
Joshua Risko
Wow, your guys' music has been very meaningful for me throughout my life, thank you for another great album!!
DivaNERFThis
It's one of my favorites from the album! The hook is so catchy, I can't stop singing it throughout the day!
chad hamel
I think this might be my favorite from the album. Or The Outside. Both are great standout tracks in an overall well rounded album that’s enjoyable from start to finish
Daniel J
What a great song, shame it doesn't have more views/recognition.
StoicDeviant
Definitely a favorite with this one. The depth of this song is so intense. Very cool, guys.
