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 Hooker’s Hooker ’N Heat and swapped stories of their favorite concerts. Energized by the evening, the three musicians reconvened the next day for a jam session at Stiff’s Los Feliz home. Before long, his living room would become the band’s epicenter as they wrote songs, performed for friends, and eventually recorded and mixed their debut album, Give It Back to You. 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. They also incorporated slide guitar, pedal steel, piano, and harmonica, showcasing both their range and reverence for tradition while infusing it with modern energy. Released in February 2016, Give It Back to You spent 42 weeks on both the Billboard Top New Artist Heatseekers chart (peaking at #5). "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, we’re still so grateful to have found the music we had always been looking for."
