THE RECORD COMPANY IN CONCERT:
LA-based blues rock outfit The Record Company has opened for everyone from B.B. King and Buddy Guy to Social Distortion and Grace Potter, but the band's acclaimed 2016 debut album Give It Back To You made clear what their loyal fans already knew: these guys were born to headline. Since the record's release the talented trio has topped Billboard's Adult Alternative Songs chart with their single "Off the Ground" and wowed on their first headlining tour with no-nonsense sets that put their impressive rock chops front and center. In concert they combine twangy slide guitar and driving distorted bass with elemental drumming that gives their songs serious rhythmic heft. Their palette is minimal, but it's the perfect foundation for singer and multi-instrumentalist Chris Vos, whose soulful voice and self-aware lyrics imbue the band's tunes with arresting emotional complexity. In the wake of their acclaimed debut The Record Company has wind in their sails, and fans can't help but get caught up in the excitement any time they kick out their bluesy brand of rock and roll.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
The Record Company formed in Los Angeles in 2011 and spent their early days writing and recording in the living room of bassist Alex Stiff. They self-released a few 7" singles and an EP of covers in 2012, including a version of The O'Jays' "Love Train" that was featured in a Coors Light commercial. TV placements on shows like USA's Suits and CBS's CSI: Crime Scene Investigation followed, and by 2014 they were performing at major festivals across the country and touring in support of legends like Brian Setzer and Trombone Shorty. Following a 2015 European tour in support of Blackberry Smoke, The Record Company made their full-length album debut with Give It Back To You. The record was a critical and commercial success, spawning the hit single "Off the Ground" and drumming up major excitement for their first headlining tour.

The Record Company have such incredible musicianship, songwriting, stage presence, and energy, and put on an overall amazing live show. They were even better live than I expected, and I'm already a huge fan!! I really can't believe this wasn't a sold out show (The Fillmore in SFO) -- everyone who wasn't there missed out big time!!
Great show, The Record Company is a good old fashion rock band!!
What a GREAT show at a fantastic venue !! Far exceeded my expectations and also my wife’s expectations. Acoustics were great, no wait at the bar to get a drink, bar staff was very friendly and quick, great beer selection & audience was very excited - fabulous night !!
Incredible bass and guitar play. Even some awesome harmonica. Incredible energy and nonstop jams. Second time seeing them and hope.they come back around soon!
Great show. Good crowd at the 9:30 club. Lots of fun. My recommendation is to GO SEE THEM!
Down to earth guys that sincerely seem to appreciate what they have going on. That nice old blues, rock, rockabilly, sound with a new flavor. Been a big fan since they first came out, and vi look forward to seeing them whenever we can. Keep it up, fellas.
A high energy sound, fantastic musicianship - you can tell they love what they do!! Don't miss them if they are coming your way
I’ve seen The Record Company live seven times including the other night at the 9:30 Club and it was their best show yet. That’s strong praise because they’re easily one of the best live performance bands out there. If you haven’t seen them yet, you need to.
TRC bring the energy! It’s incredible how 3 men can make so much rockin’ noise. They are talented, emotionally-charged entertainment.
