The Record Company is a rock band from Los Angeles. The members are Chris Vos (guitar, lead vocals), Alex Stiff (bass, backing vocals), and Marc Cazorla (drums, backing vocals). Their music is influenced by blues musicians such as John Lee Hooker.[1]

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,[2] Paste,[3] The Huffington Post,[4] and Rolling Stone.[5][6][7] Rolling Stone also included The Record Company in their April 2016 list of "10 New Artists You Need to Know."[8]
