Editorial Reviews

The Classic Crime is a rock band from Seattle, Washington and they are signed to Tooth & Nail Records. The band consists of Matt MacDonald-vocals, Alan Clark-bass, Robert "Cheeze" Negrin - guitar, Paul "Skip" Erickson- drums, and Justin DuQue- guitar. 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.'

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow ! A Stunning Effort!, July 27, 2008

This cd is simply the best cd released this year. You talk about a musical effort by an up and coming band that has it all in glorious heights: lyrics, singing, melodies and rollicking guitars. No band this year has or can top this effort by The Classic Crime.

While current bands struggle to write one or two good songs for their cds and aim for the ITunes download mother load for one of the songs. The Classic Crime hit the mother load on this cd. All 15 songs are good and add to the texture and the tone of the cd. Each song builds onto the next song until you hit the pinnacle with the last song "The Beginning". This song is the best final track that a band has laid down in a long, long time.

If there was ever a band and a cd that deserves to explode into the mainstream, it is this band and its latest "The Silver Cord" What a refreshing listening in the current muck that is music today. Buy the cd to support a band that deserves more notice and success than many of the bands that have achieved a greater level of success. The Classic Crime deserves more publicity than it is getting.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Silver Cord is EPIC!, July 24, 2008

This album is musically and lyrically very strong and Matt's consistently clean and melodic vocals are enhanced by the rest of the band beautifully. These guys have a message for everyone and that is one of hope. As they did with Albatross, there's a great mix of driving rock and the slower paced anthems. Don't miss out on this one.

I love it! I recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Like Nothing I've Ever Heard Before, August 19, 2008

The sounds of The Classic Crime are like nothing I have ever heard before and the full throttle drive of their music and rock sound is absolutely something i can't get enough of.

The Silver Cord will tear your heart out and insert wisdom and a sobered up look at life.

Worth every penny.
