We Rock Hard is the debut album by the English electronic group Freestylers.[2] [3] It was their most commercially successful release to date. AllMusic describes the album as a run through of the band members' back catalogue, but it still showcases the classic big beat and breakbeat electronica that would remain the band's trademark sound along with ragga and dub twists.

The album features the single "Ruffneck", which garnered MTV rotation.

Critical reception

The Guardian noted: "They've got tunes like the British breaks scene has never had tunes, which gives their superb productions a sweetness grievously lacking at the more ascetic end of breakbeat."[4]
