About The Record Company
The Record Company is a rock band from Los Angeles. The members are Chris Vos , Alex Stiff , and Marc Cazorla . Their music is influenced by blues musicians such as John Lee Hooker.
The trio started in late 2011, recording live in the bass player's living room in Los Feliz, California. The Record Company have since played concert halls across North America, opening for John Mayer, B.B. King, Social Distortion, Buddy Guy, Bob Seger, Grace Potter, and Trombone Shorty. The band toured Europe supporting Blackberry Smoke in late 2015.
The band has received positive reviews from Entertainment Weekly, Paste, The Huffington Post, and Rolling Stone. Rolling Stone also included The Record Company in their April 2016 list of "10 New Artists You Need to Know."
Prior to forming the Record Company, band members Stiff and Cazorla played together in the indie-rock band the Frequency.
Their first full-length album Give It Back to You was released on Concord Records on February 12, 2016. The album was written, recorded, and mixed by the band in the same living room in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles where the Record Company formed. The lead single, "Off the Ground", reached number 1 on the US Billboard Adult Alternative Songs chart. The album's second single, “Rita Mae Young,” reached number 12 on the Adult Alternative Songs chart. The album spent 42 weeks on both the Billboard Heatseekers Albums Chart and the Nielsen Alternative New Artist Chart and was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of Best Contemporary Blues Album. Give It Back to You was nominated for Best Contemporary Blues Album in the 2017 Grammy Awards, losing to The Last Days of Oakland by Fantastic Negrito.
To promote Give It Back to You, the band appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, CBS This Morning and TBS’ Conan. The band were also favorites at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, prompting Rolling Stone Country to name the trio’s set among the event’s “5 Best Country and Americana Moments” while declaring it “a wildly energetic show and one of the most communal experiences of the festival.” The Record Company embarked on their first headline tour in the fall of 2016 in support of Give It Back to You, selling out 32 of the 41 shows they played. In July 2016, the song In The Mood For You was used in the motion picture soundtrack for the film Bad Moms. That was followed by a tour opening for John Mayer in early 2017. The band then toured Australia and Europe and made festival appearances.
