Since 1999, Cosmic Force has developed a very unique hybrid style of Jamaican roots reggae and dub. Based in Houston, TX, a city with a rich blues, country, soul, and rap history, comes a group who, "in a matter of months have emerged seemingly out of nowhere to become Houston's leading roots reggae band" (Aaron Howard - Houston Press). Cosmic Force's music is a mind opening experience. Their live shows have captivated audiences throughout the United States and Mexico.

Cosmic Force had the opportunity to open for internationally acclaimed reggae stars such as the Wailers, Burning Spear, Steel Pulse, Culture, Wailing Souls, Eek-A-Mouse, Abyssinians, Itals, Capelton, Cocoa Tea, Everton Blender, Richie Spice, and Thomas Mapfumo. They also have opened for some rock and jam-band acts including Leftover Salmon and the Phunk Junkeez. They have played many dates across the United States on the Bob Marley Festival Tour (2000 - present), and made several appearances at World Music Festivals. Their music has been featured on the local jazz station's (KTSU) reggae hour. They have also performed for the 107.5 FM Buzz Concert Series at Greenspoint Mall, and Mardi Gras (Galveston, TX). In 2003, they toured across Mexico playing multiple shows in Tampico, Cordoba, Palenque, Tulum, Catemaco, Cancun, and Isla Mujeres. This is a live act you don't want to miss. "If the audience is small, they get people dancing. If the audience is big, they really get people jumping" (Houston Press).

Cosmic Force owns, runs, and releases their music on their own independent record label Smells Like Reggae Records. After two releases ("Dreadlock Don't Like No Barberman" - 2001) and ("Love is Everything" - 2001) Cosmic Force released a live CD ("Ruined in Tulum" - 2003) recorded at Tafari's in Tulum, Mexico during their last concert while on tour of Mexico. Cosmic Force has just completed the new album "Incoming / Fret Not," which was mastered at the legendary Lion & Fox Studios USA. The single "Spend All My Time Trying" was voted the #1 Worldbeat song for April 2005, and the #19 All Genres song for April 2005 on the German music site MusikLiga. The song has also been getting radio airplay every Wednesday night in Germany. To find out more information go to the band's website at http://www.cosmicforceband.de.vu
