Sacred Cowboys - In The Manifesto

In The Manifesto is a studio album by Australian post punk band Sacred Cowboys, released in January 2026 via Torn & Frayed and Beast Records.

Sacred Cowboys are a moody hard rock band with a dry sense of humour. They started playing in murky Melbourne dive bars in 1982 attracting a rabid following. With the release of their iconic first single, ‘Nothing Grows in Texas’, they were catapulted to national TV notoriety on Countdown (Molly hated them, bless).

2025 saw founders Garry Gray and Mark Ferrie enlist Timothy Deane, Anthony Paine and Damian Fitzgerald to round out a new lineup of the group, and here are the results – a new studio album In The Manifesto.

The Sacred Cowboys have performed intense live shows and transported that energy and mood onto this new album. It’s all killer and a tour de force or ragged rock & roll. Garnering the attention of Andrew McGee at Torn & Frayed Records, and combining with French allies at Beast Records, France, the rest is about to become history.

This album is on black vinyl housed in a single pocket sleeve with a printed insert, pressed in Australia via Torn & Frayed and Beast Records.
