FROM NEW LP PLAY LOUD, OUT OCTOBER 8 ON CONCORD RECORDS
32-CITY NORTH AMERICAN TOUR KICKS OFF OCTOBER 10
WITH TORONTO STOP ON OCTOBER 19
TORONTO, ON – September 23, 2021 —GRAMMY-nominated rock band, The Record Company, are debuting a new song off their highly-anticipated forthcoming album, Play Loud. Listen to/share Gotta Be Movin’ here. Play Loud is set for release October 8 on Concord Records and is available for pre-order here.
“Gotta Be Movin’ is a song that tips its hat to our love of The Beastie Boys, and to guitar parts that sound like they are samples,” the band explains. “This guitar melody caught our ear right away and had that sample of an old school guitar riff feel. We love that. Get a rhythmic vocal going with some deep drums and let the good times roll.”
The band will hit the road starting October 10 for a 32-city tour with support from Canadian rocker, JJ Wilde, on select dates, and includes a stop in Toronto on October 19. See below for a complete list of dates; additional info and tickets are here.
How High, the first single released from the LP, is among the most-added and most-increased songs at Adult Alternative radio since it dropped and has already hit the Top 5 at the format. The track has also Top 3 on the Americana Singles Airplay Chart and Top 3 on the NonComm Albums Chart.
Play Loud is produced by GRAMMY-winning producer Dave Sardy (Oasis, Wolfmother, Modest Mouse, LCD Soundsystem). On the album, the group stretches out artistically and explores their far-flung influences. “We totally flipped the process on this record to allow for every idea and possibility, so it wasn’t just the three of us, closed off in our bubble. It was like, ‘Let’s take some risks and see what we can really do,’” describes bassist Alex Stiff.
The Record Company—consisting of guitarist/lead vocalist Chris Vos, bassist Alex Stiff and drummer Marc Cazorla—most recently released their EP, Side Project, (also via Concord Records), which finds the band reimagining and reconstructing some of their favourite tracks by a wide range of artists including Big Mama Thornton, Cypress Hill, INXS and Willie Dixon. Listen here.
Play Loud is the follow-up to the band’s critically lauded sophomore album, All of This Life. Upon its release, Rolling Stone noted that the single, Life to Fix “isn’t so much a return to form as it is taking that form a big new level,” while NPR Music raved that the track “breathes new life into a style of music.”
The band’s debut, Give It Back to You, earned them a GRAMMY nomination for Best Contemporary Blues Album. The critically acclaimed record produced three Top Ten hits at Triple-A radio, including lead single Off the Ground, which reached #1 on Billboard’s Adult Alternative Songs chart. Entertainment Weekly describes their debut album as a "soul scorcher.” The Record Company has appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, CBS This Morning, NPR’s World Café and SiriusXM, and has shared bills with John Mayer, My Morning Jacket, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Zac Brown Band.
