The Record Company

The Record Company was born out of a late-night hang in 2011, when Chris Vos (vocals, guitar), Alex Stiff (bass, backing vocals), and Marc Cazorla (drums, backing vocals) spun classic blues records like John Lee Hookers Hooker N Heat and swapped stories of their favorite concerts (Iggy Pop s Los Feliz home. Blending the soul of Delta blues with the power of classic rock and roll, the trio recorded much of the album live, giving songs like Off the Ground, Rita Mae Young, and On the Move a raw, immediate feel. Released in February 2016, Give It Back to You spent 42 weeks on both the Billboard Top New Artist Heatseekers chart (where it peaked at #5).

Also bolstering the bands profile were a host of high-profile engagements, including appearances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Conan, and CBS This Morning; a much-talked-about performance at Bonnaroo (named as one of the festivals 5 Best Country and Americana Moments by Rolling Stone Country); and their first headlining tour of the US. In addition to earning a GRAMMY nomination for Best Contemporary Blues Album, Give It Back to You and The Record Company also received plenty of accolades from the press. Entertainment Weekly hailed, The scuzzy, 10-track set meshes the groups biggest influencesthe early electric blues rock n roll of John Lee Hooker, staccato lyrical delivery akin to The Stooges frontman Iggy Pop, and Rolling Stones-style grooves.

Give It Back To You was about the formation of a new friendship that led to the accomplishment/start of a dream we all were afraid might pass us by, said Chris Vos. 10 years later, were still so grateful to have found the music we had always been looking for, and that its taken us from live recording sessions in our bass players Los Feliz living room to stages all over the world.
