Some fans have assumed that The Classic Crime is a "Christian band" due to being signed on to Tooth & Nail Records. Also adding to the confusion is that many music stores and online sales list The Classic Crime as a Christian band for the same reason. This is true of iTunes which is a major mover in music. More so, both of The Classic Crimes full-length albums have charted on Billboard Music's Top Christian Albums music chart.[6] However, 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."[7] Justin DuQue stated that "3 of the 5 members in the band are Christian. We get that a lot being on a pseudo-Christian label (Tooth & Nail) but no we are not a Christian band. Our lyrics are very positive and hopeful though".
