Chapter 28   Matt MacDonald from The Classic Crime was not a first or second generation Tooth & Nail kid;  he and his band just happened to intersect with the label and the scene right near its peak. With their polished commercial sound, aspirations of mainstream success, a hotshot management team, and Tooth & Nail's partnership with EMI, upstreaming them into the big leagues seemed like a solid bet. The expectations were understandably high all around. Many special opportunities would come their way, but ultimately, the music industry and the indie scene had a few curveballs up their sleeve, giving Matt some unexpected opportunities to learn lessons he was not hoping to learn.
