Just heard these guys on XM Bluesville and can't get enough. That bass line just won't let you go.

The guitar player for the group also plays harmonica. The Record Company is a good band. Sort of a blues-rock power trio.

When I heard these guys on XM I thought they were somewhat reminiscent of the band MORPHINE.

@hvyj Yeah, I thought so too! Morphine were awesome, as were its great pre- and post- variations.

Nice to see/hear some slide bass in there, especially some video. Poor old bass usually don't get seen enough close up.

I thought the lapsteel tone was modeled very much on George Thorogood, especially so in the 2nd half after 3".

Their sound seems to fit very much in the outlaw blues genre. There was a great game last year called Rebel Galaxy that had a really inspired soundtrack from this genre, worth listening to!
