The Classic Crime
What is the Classic Crime? History is filled with heroes that made the ultimate sacrifice and martyrs who died for their cause. Whether their actions were viewed as “criminal” in their day was irrelevant. From those fighting against injustice to those who stood up for the folks who don’t fit in, dying for one’s beliefs or one’s art is the Classic Crime.
“Music has a profound effect on the listener. It even has the power to lift spirits and change lives,” reasons Classic Crime singer Matt MacDonald. “If we can see our music change a life for the better, than we’ve been paid in the kind of way we hope to be.”
The Classic Crime’s album, “Albatross,” threatened to change lives in such a way with the sheer expanse of its scope, conjuring the most brilliant moments of Brand New, Thrice and Third Eye Blind while alternately sounding refreshingly original.
The vocals are unique, the lyrics are hopeful, and the boys’ hearts are all in the right place. Tours with Mest, Allister and Scary Kids Scaring Kids, as well as prime placement on the Tooth & Nail Tour with Emery and Anberlin, won’t hurt.
The Classic Crime is a new take on an old rock n’ roll sound for a generation hungry to be heard. Producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette (Iggy Pop, Chevelle, Cold) helped The Classic Crime shape and hone their already considerably strong material into breath-taking anthems, proving how far they’ve come since their days as teenage pals.
The Classic Crime had a collection of seven songs that they wrote while writing their debut album "Albatross" and touring from 2005 to 2007. These songs were different... so different they weren't sure they would flow in the context of their next record. So on April 23rd, 2007 the band entered Red Room Studios in their hometown of Seattle and recorded these seven songs. Their motivation was simple: Primarily, to give their fans and friends something new, honest, and different, and Secondly, to perk the ears of listeners who may not know who they are and who might be predisposed to blues, folk and indie pop music. The band named the EP "Seattle Sessions" because it was recorded in Seattle within seven studio sessions. Enjoy it and pick up your copy now.
