History
Several friends based in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina formed the band that is The Classic Struggle, in 2002. After playing several tours, Austin Floyd left in 2004. They were signed to IronCad Recordings, a subsidiary label of Metal Blade Records and released their first album Feel Like Hell, in 2005. They have since headlined several tours nationwide and shared stages with MANY bands. In 2006 Jason Shuping was fired due to conflicts with the band. In 2007 The band became absent after Tyler Solonosky suffered an injury, thus prohibiting them from joining any tours or playing shows at all. It was in 2008 that they would release their follow-up Bring Back The Glory returning to IronClad Recordings, subsidiary label of Metal Blade Records. Drummer Tyler Solonosky in 2009 parted ways due to personal issues. As of March 2009 (ex-The Black Dahlia Murder) drummer Cory Grady (currently Premonitions of War) joined as a permanent member. After a few months Cory moved back to Detroit to start a new project with Former TBDM guitarist John K. Good friend of the band, Tj Bailey was asked to fill in and is now a permanent member.
