The Record Company
NewMusicForOldFolks says …
The Record Company's first album in 2016, Give It Back To You, was recorded at home and produced some consistent radio play and even a Grammy nomination. It was lauded for the bare-bones style of the songs. The question became, what would The Record Company do when the band got a chance to record with an actual budget. The answer is All of This Life. It's more polished, but it's still straight-ahead, bluesy Rock ’n Roll. It doesn't sound like it was recorded in somebody's garage and that can be both a good and bad thing. The good far outweighs the bad in this case and All of This Life is sure to show up on a lot of top albums of 2018 lists (including ours, stay tuned).

Bio (From the artist's website)
By now, The Record Company’s story is a well-known one: a trio of musicians grit it out on their own for years in bars and clubs, join forces in LA, set up some microphones in a living room, and cut an album that turns their world upside down. Released in 2016, Give It Back To You spawned three Top Ten hits at Triple-A radio (including the #1 smash “Off The Ground”), earned the band a slew of festival appearances and sold-out headline dates around the world, and garnered a GRAMMY nomination. The group made the rounds on late night TV, shared bills with John Mayer, Zac Brown Band, My Morning Jacket and Nathaniel Rateliff among others, and racked up more than ten million streams on Spotify. The critical response was just as ecstatic, with Rolling Stone raving that the band “kick[s] up a raw, rootsy racket” and Entertainment Weekly calling the album a “soul scorcher.” (more)

ALL OF THIS LIFE (2018): One listen to The Record Company's exhilarating new album, All Of This Life, and it’s clear that things have changed. The gritty slide guitar, fuzzed-out bass, and driving drums are all still front and center, but the songs are bolder and more ambitious, deeper and more reflective, brimming with adventurous vitality while still remaining firmly tethered to the roots of American rock and roll that have always grounded and nourished the group. The stakes were higher this time around to be sure, but the music more than delivers, bolstered by the kind of growth that can only come from the trial-by-fire the band experienced on their meteoric rise.
