Anybody who’s squished into The Record Company’s sweaty L.A. club shows (or saw them when those clubs were almost empty, for that matter), or who remembers their game doubleheader at the 2012 Silver Lake Jubilee, can raise a glass: The roots-rock trio, signed to Concord Music Group and freshly back from a huge European tour, on Friday announced their debut full-length “Give It Back to You” would be out Feb. 12. It’s a big milestone for the dues-paying, blues-slaying trio of singer-guitarist Chris Vos, bassist-guitarist Alex Stiff and drummer Marc Cazorla, who got together about four years ago after Vos moved to L.A. from his native Wisconsin. The full-length follows the self-released “Feels So Good” and “Superdead” EPs (both no longer available) and plenty of miles on their live show odometer, all spent breathing some new life into vintage rock. The first single, available for immediate download with an album pre-order, is “Off the Ground,” with Vos urging himself to “get up off the side of the road” and carry on. Which he and Stiff and Cazorla have been doing for more than four years now.
