The Record Company

The Record Company are a swaggering three-piece rock band with a lean, rootsy sound, but don't call them a blues act. While the blues is a major ingredient in their sound, they approach the music in their own way, blending the influences of foundational artists like Muddy Waters and Jimmy Reed with the tougher and more upbeat attack of early rock & roll. Playing small venues for small money, the trio developed a serious buzz in their hometown of Los Angeles and were sharing bills with major artists before landing a record deal in 2015. Their debut album, 2016's Give It Back to You, was a strong roots rock session that garnered a Grammy nomination, and 2018's All of This Life was more eclectic in its approach, but just as passionate. 2023's The 4th Album split the difference between no-frills tunes and hard-grooving rhythms.
