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
You think you know who you are
But everyone has a charge
Now every act is a desperate move to try to
Reassemble the parts
Despite your narrative arc
Now all the actors throw sparks
Complete your chores while the house is burning down
And you're afraid of the dark
See truth
Refuse to blame
You're not saying goodbye
You got several seconds left before
Several seconds left before it's time
You're still saying you're right
But right and wrong are not options
'Cause resurrection happens when you die
Oh, oh, oh
It's written into the stars
Each time fidelity starves
No healer ever could help a wounded life without first sharing his scars
You think you've suffered your part
So calculated and smart
The dreams and visions all point to healing but interpretations an art
See truth
Refuse to blame
You're not saying goodbye
You got several seconds left before
Several seconds left before it's time
You're still saying you're right
But right and wrong are not options
'Cause resurrection happens when you die
Only death can bring you life
Only death can bring you life
Only death can bring us life
Only death
The final compromise
You're not saying goodbye
You got several seconds left before
Several seconds left before it's time
You're still saying you're right
But right and wrong are not options
'Cause resurrection happens when you die
Oh, oh, oh, oh
But everyone has a charge
Now every act is a desperate move to try to
Reassemble the parts
Despite your narrative arc
Now all the actors throw sparks
Complete your chores while the house is burning down
And you're afraid of the dark
See truth
You're not saying goodbye
You got several seconds left before
Several seconds left before it's time
You're still saying you're right
But right and wrong are not options
'Cause resurrection happens when you die
Oh, oh, oh
It's written into the stars
Each time fidelity starves
No healer ever could help a wounded life without first sharing his scars
You think you've suffered your part
So calculated and smart
The dreams and visions all point to healing but interpretations an art
See truth
Refuse to blame
You're not saying goodbye
You got several seconds left before
Several seconds left before it's time
You're still saying you're right
But right and wrong are not options
'Cause resurrection happens when you die
Only death can bring you life
Only death can bring you life
Only death can bring us life
Only death
The final compromise
You're not saying goodbye
You got several seconds left before
Several seconds left before it's time
You're still saying you're right
But right and wrong are not options
'Cause resurrection happens when you die
Oh, oh, oh, oh
