Vandoliers
Vandoliers is an American alternative country music group from Texas founded in 2015. They are signed to Break Maiden Records/Thirty Tigers and have released four studio albums. Background Vandoliers was formed in 2015 by Jenni Rose, following the dissolution of her Fort Worth-based punk trio The Phuss, and an eye infection that left her nearly blind for eight weeks. During her recovery period, she 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. With help from producer John Pedigo (The O's), Rose put together a DFW supergroup featuring members of well-known local folk and metal groups Whiskey Folk Ramblers, Vinyl, Revolution Nine and Armadillo Creek, and rounding out the pair's ''Ameri-Kinda'' demos. The following year, the band signed to State Fair Records, and in October 2016, the label re-released the a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cowpunk
Cowpunk (or country punk) is a subgenre of punk rock that began in the United Kingdom and Southern California in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It combines punk rock or new wave with country, folk, and blues in its sound, lyrical subject matter, attitude, and style. Examples include Social Distortion, the Gun Club, the Long Ryders, Dash Rip Rock, Violent Femmes, the Blasters, Mojo Nixon, Meat Puppets, the Beat Farmers, Rubber Rodeo, Rank and File, and Jason and the Scorchers. Many of the musicians in this scene subsequently became associated with alternative country, roots rock or Americana. Etymology and characteristics The term "cowpunk" is first attested in 1979, as a blend of "cowboy" and "punk". The term "country punk" has been proposed as an equivalent term. Both terms are sometimes hyphenated, especially in late 1970s or early 1980s sources (e.g., cow-punk or country-punk). In 1984, Robert Palmer wrote in the ''New York Times'' on the emerging aesthetic ac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
