Galactic Cowboys were a heavy rock/metal band based in Houston, Texas. They combined progressive metal with a style of vocals influenced by The Beatles and the heavy playing style of thrash bands such as Anthrax.

Original members Monty Colvin (Bass, vocals), Alan Doss (Drums, vocals), Ben Huggins (Lead vocals, guitar), and Dane Sonnier (Guitar, vocals) released their self-titled album in 1991, with the follow-up “Space In Your Face” in 1993. Sonnier then decided to leave the group. The band returned in 1996 with album number three entitled “Machine Fish” on Metal Blade Records, along with new guitarist Wally Farkas.

It was in 1997 that they released “The Horse That Bud Bought”, which was a minor departure for the band. They used a similar songwriting style but lightened the tone. The music contained a more rock feel, with less metal leanings. The music for the next two albums, “At The End Of The Day” and “Let It Go” also were also similar in this regard.

After 2000’s “Let It Go” the Cowboys decided to disband. The former members of the band continue to be active in the music scene.

    These guys put on three of the greatest live shows I ever saw. I'm rediscovering them after many years. Wish they were still together, and wish I hadn't been such a fair weather fan when they were.

    Epi - They're definitely a Christian act. The thing is - they also happen to write very intelligent lyrics, which may be why the Christian element isn't glaringly obvious. I'm non-Christian & fairly liberal, but it's hard not to appreciate the clever wit of some of their lyrics -- take "Hey Mr", for instance, which ruthlessly satirizes Bill Clinton with extreme precision.

    Most (or all) bandmembers are christians so it would be logical that their lyrics are (as galacticredskin said) in some way influenced by their faith. The lyrics don't have to be preachy to be christian.

    The Christian angle is in some of their songs, if you don't see it anywhere maybe you need to read the lyrics!
