Dallas Cowboys players form Free Reign rock band

Hard-hitting football is nothing new for the Dallas Cowboys, who are one of the most successful football franchises ever. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that when several members of the Cowboys’ offensive line - Marc Colombo (vocals/right tackle, #75), Leonard Davis (bass/right guard, #70), Cory Procter (drums/center and guard, #71) - picked up their respective instruments and formed Free Reign, that their music would be just as hard-hitting as well.

As evidenced throughout their debut release, ‘Tragedy’ (to be released January 26, 2010 via Riot Entertainment), the group - which also features guitarist Justin Chapman - is preparing to take the world by storm, and proving once and for all, that jocks can certainly rock.

“This is an amazing opportunity for Riot and to further establish our name internationally,” says Riot Entertainment Owner/CEO John Howarth. “Free Reign is a band with massive potential. There has been an enormous buzz surrounding them since they appeared on the scene a few months ago. Free Reign has already been flooded with endorsements. Their marketing potential is limitless. These guys are already huge sports stars, but they have shown they have the talent to diversify. I am positive that metal fans will embrace Free Reign and see them take it to the next level.”

Free Reign will be joining label mates Fozzy - which includes another jock-rock connection, as the group is fronted by WWE Wrestler Chris Jericho.

“I would love to see a double bill with these bands, imagine that! No security needed!” adds Howarth. “I know that would be one hell of a gig. Imagine WWE, NFL, Fozzy and Free Reign fans all under the one roof; only the strong would survive!”

Already the subject of a massive media response including features on ESPN, NFL Network, and in Sports Illustrated among many others, it’s now time for the music press to embrace this talented and once in a lifetime band. Free Reign will make the music world stand up and take notice as they unleash their high octane fueled, intense brand of modern metal. Soon, you will be able to experience the sheer brute strength of Free Reign for yourself, with the arrival of ‘Tragedy.’
