"Inspired by life in the city of Seattle, 'Vagabonds,' the title track of The Classic Crime's 2010 album, is a cheeky response to the perils of materialism, suggesting that simplicity is synonymous with generosity," vocalist/guitarist Matt MacDonald told PureVolume.com. "In true DIY spirit, TCC borrows friends, fans, and strangers, using Seattle as the backdrop, to help bring this acoustic re-arrangement of the song 'Vagabonds' from WWDV1 to the screen. Directed, shot, and edited by the band's own guitar player, Robbie Negrin."

Featuring a mix of both acoustic and rearranged versions of fan and band favorites, WWDV1 can be purchased online via iTunes, Amazon.com and the BadChristian web-store as well as physical retails like FYE and more.

The album is currently streaming in its entirety at: http://badchristian.com/band/classic-crime/.

What Was Done, Vol. 1: A Decade Revisited is an anniversary album that highlights the first 10 years of music from The Classic Crime. The band's signature sound, which was born in Seattle and raised on the Interstate Highway System, is well suited for the acoustic treatment, and fans have responded in force, crowd-funding over 336% of WWDV1's initial budget goal.

"This has been a huge process that has spanned over a year from conception to completion," said MacDonald. "WWDV1 started out as a simple acoustic idea, but due to the overwhelming support we received, it became so much more. Most albums we've released with some level of fear, but this is one we are excited to give back to those who funded it."

The Classic Crime will support the new album with a handful of November tour dates alongside headliner, Emery, and Artifex Pereo. VIP tickets are on sale now at: http://www.emeryvip.com/, including a special full band Emery acoustic set, meet and greet experience and more. A full list of confirmed dates can be seen below.
