Artist description The Freestylers are the dancefloor sensation of the new millennium, a fast moving, breakdancing, electro-rocking monster movie which is going to hit your house like a tidal wave, and wash all your preconceptions out of the door.When they play live, there's ten of them on the stage alone, guitars and a full rhythm section, DJ Jay-Rock, ragga rapper stalwarts MC Tenor Fly and MC Navigator, and all the champion break dancers you could wish for, a breathtaking whirl of sound and vision which leaves the audience as exhausted as the band. In fact, the dance is almost as important to the Freestylers as the music, and while break beats have been threatening to return to the dancefloor for years, the Freestylers are the first band to actually do something about it and were promptly proclaimed Best Band at the 1998 Muzik Magazine Awards. On record, too, the Freestylers attack your feet first. A blast of sheer sonic exuberance nailed to the phattest beats and rhythms around, We Rock Hard has already been proclaimed one of the dying century's most dazzling, dizzying explosions, 13 songs and one long party.
