The heavy metal band featuring three Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman has signed a world wide deal with Australia's Riot Entertainment.
Free Reign is the band that includes Cowboys Marc Colombo, Leonard Davis and Cory Procter.
Local guitarist Justin Chapman rounds out the band, which has their debut EP set for release in the fall.
Free Reign describes themselves as 'heavier than metal.'
"Free Reign is a band with massive potential," Riot owner/CEO John Howarth said in a news release. "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."
Riot's also recently signed Fozzy, fronted by WWE wrestler Chris Jericho.
"Riot has a great track record and they work hard for their Artists, we all look forward to a bright future together," Free Reign manager John Gomez said in the release.
Free Reign plays their last gig before the NFL Season Saturday, June 27 at the House of Blues in Dallas.
