American rock band from Seattle, Washington formed in 2004.
The band’s current lineup consists of Matt MacDonald (vocals, guitar), Alan Clark (bass), Robert “Cheeze” Negrin (guitar), and Paul “Skip” Erickson (drums, vocals).

They have released three albums and an EP on Tooth & Nail Records.
In July 2011, the band left Tooth & Nail to produce a fourth album with the help of fan donations via Kickstarter, called Phoenix.
In April 2016, The Classic Crime created a Kickstarter to raise funds for a fifth studio album. Within three hours they acquired the necessary $30,000 for the album. On April 28, 2017 they released their fifth studio album titled How to Be Human.

The Classic Crime does not label themselves a “Christian” band. As Matt writes on TCC’s discussion board

We believe faith is personal, and can be only held by an individual person. To entitle a group ‘Christian’ would be to assume that the group has a collective soul, or at least individual souls tied to a solid collective belief. Not everyone in our band is decidedly set in their faith, and we respect that.
