This new band opened up the Tooth & Nail showcase at the Redrum Annex, which was half-filled while a long line of wristband wearing or ticket buying hopefuls waited as the club "allowed space" for the badgeholders that had priority entrance into any club during the festival. It seemed odd that they'd do this, but at least the line was by a chain link fence that allowed them visibility and the sounds of the show. The Classic Crime sounded very energetic and utilized most of the stage for their now typical antics of headstock waving and guitar slinging. The drummer was a madman who pounded away with intensity, seemingly doing everything with a Red Bull-like boost of wreckless abandon (but without missing a beat). The guy is awesome.
