Vandoliers is an American alternative country music group from Texas founded in 2015. They were signed to State Fair Records in 2016 and have released two studio albums. The band signed to Bloodshot Records in 2018 and began work on album 3. Vandoliers was formed in 2015 by Joshua Fleming, following the dissolution of his Fort Worth-based punk trio The Phuss, and an eye infection that left him nearly blind for eight weeks. During his recovery period, he discovered The Marty Stuart Show and the similarities between punk and country, and wrote the material that would go on to become the Vandoliers' debut album, Ameri-Kinda, during a fit of inspiration one weekend.
