32-CITY NORTH AMERICAN TOUR KICKS OFF OCTOBER 10
WITH TORONTO STOP ON OCTOBER 19

TORONTO, ON – August 19, 2021 – Grammy-nominated rock band, The Record Company, are unveiling Out Of My Head, the latest single from their highly anticipated forthcoming third studio album Play Loud, out October 8 on Concord Records; listen/share the track here and watch the video here. Pre-order Play Loud here. 

“In the summer of 2018, I came home from the bar, plugged a Gibson ES-335 into a distorted VOX amp and this riff came out of me. It was simple, raw and made me jump around the room while playing it,” bassist Alex Stiff says. “I’m a Led Zeppelin fan all the way, and always dreamt of writing a riff that captures the Jimmy Page spirit that inspired me to play as a kid.”

How High, the first single released from the LP, has been among the most-added and most-increased songs at Adult Alternative radio since it dropped and is quickly heading to Top 10 at the format, as well as quickly gaining momentum at Rock and Alternative. The track has also entered the Top 5 on the Americana Singles Chart, as well as Top 5 position on the Non-Comm Albums Chart.

In celebration of the upcoming release, the band will hit the road this fall for a 32-city tour across North America. The Play Loud Tour kicks off October 10, with support from JJ Wilde on select dates, and includes a stop in Toronto on October 19^th. See below for a complete list of upcoming shows. More info and tickets here.

Play Loud is produced by GRAMMY-winning producer, Dave Sardy (Oasis, Wolfmother, Modest Mouse, LCD Soundsystem), and finds the band collaborating with outside songwriters for the first time ever. On Play Loud, the group stretches out artistically and explores their far-flung influences. “On the first two albums, people might have thought we were three guys who sit around a campfire, praying to Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker, and we’re not,” notes bassist Alex Stiff. “We’re three different guys with different musical tastes. It’s time for all of us to show our individuality, and this record shows us evolving.”

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 favorite 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.
