FREESTYLERS

So, here's what you probably already know about The Freestylers. They've made over 45 records, sold 350,000 albums, scorched the charts with the hotfooter 'B-Boy Stance', appeared on Top of the Pops and opened for Lenny Kravitz. They've rocked Glastonbury, crisscrossed the world touring with a 12 piece band and now they're set to release their third album 'Raw As F**k.'

"We chose the name Raw As F**k, because it was brash and would stand out," continues Aston. "We released the track 'Punks' and it was meant to be a one off, but the reception was so good we just kept going. We ended up with three number one breaks tunes and won a best newcomer at the International Breakspoll Awards. Before we knew it, we had an album that we felt was our strongest to date."

From the slavering bass-carnivore 'Slammer,' to the purple-rain phunk of Push Up, from the off-wall vocals of Reprazent home-girl Onnalee on the
album's first single 'Get a Life,' to the break-neck toasting of dapper-one Million Dan, 'Raw as F**k' is an ambitious album, aimed at more than just
hardcore breaks fans. Over thirteen tracks it plays an exhilarating game of genre hop-scotch, the traditional Freestylers sounds on the raga-laced
'Boom Blast' and jungle stylings of 'Punks', sitting perfectly alongside more poignant moments like the epic 'Too Far.'

"It's a slightly more chilled record," smiles Aston. "Well, we had to have one!."
"We've got some great collaborations on there," adds Matt. "Mostly just people we know and respect who are all into what we are doing. At the end of the day," he concludes. "We just really enjoyed making this album. We've got to a stage where we don't feel we have anything to prove anymore. We can concentrate on having fun making music that people can dance their fucking ass off to."
