L.A. trio the Record Company climbed from hardest-working roots-rockers in the (Silver Lake) neighborhood to Grammy-nominated for their 2016 album “Give It Back to You,” and it only took four years. It’s not like they ever changed their denim, though. The band — singer-guitarist Chris Vos, bassist Alex Stiff and drummer Marc Cazorla — sound typically back-to-basics on their new song “Life to Fix,” which is kind of a “Workin’ Man’s Blues” for the 5-hour Energy drink set.

The song is the first single from their sophomore album, “All of This Life,” out June 22 via Concord Records. With Stiff producing, the album was recorded on an array of analog gear at Boulevard Studios in Hollywood. It figures to be bigger and bolder than the trio’s debut, which was mostly a homemade affair. “After that first album, everything just got amplified,” Vos says in the album announcement. “Our lives got crazier and bigger and more complicated in the best possible ways, and our sound and our songwriting just naturally grew alongside that. We’re the same people we always were, but the Record Company isn’t just three guys in a living room anymore.”

Adds Vos: “This record to me is about making yourself better. It’s about owning your spot in the world. If you’re not on the right path, the only person who can take that next step to fix it is you.”
