Seattle Rock Band The Classic Crime Release 'Patterns In The Static'
Reflective Seattle rock outfit The Classic Crime have released their new album 'Patterns In The Static', a nuanced independent production zeroing in on the perils of modern life with lush indie rock and pop arrangements. Time has shaped The Classic Crime, and 'Patterns In The Static' explores that time's speed, character and effects with ear-catching up-tempo shuffles, exuberant anthems and melancholy ballads.
The band has consistently produced infectious melodies and thoughtful lyrics since meeting each other in 2003. Starting with 4 releases on Seattle-based Tooth & Nail Records between 2006-2010, and continuing on independently since 2012’s self-funded “Phoenix”, The Classic Crime is one of the few left in rock music who haven’t run out of things to say.
The band's current lineup consists of Matt MacDonald (vocals, guitar), Alan Clark (bass), Robert "Cheeze" Negrin (guitar), and Paul "Skip" Erickson (drums, vocals). In April 2016, the Classic Crime created a Kickstarter to raise funds for a sixth studio album. Within three hours they acquired the necessary $30,000 for the album. On April 28, 2017 they released their sixth studio album titled 'How to Be Human'.
