Reggae Hit L.A.
The Aggrolites are one of the world's hardest working bands and with serious talent to boot. While out on tour they knew when they arrived back in LA there was no time to relax, it would be straight into the studio for their second album with Hellcat Records. The title track from Reggae Hit L.A. says it all. It reflects two concepts the band formed while touring. One: The desire to represent who they are and where they come from. Los Angeles is in their blood--the culture, the weather, the complexities of the city of angels. Two: While touring the U.S., the Aggrolites were reminded that they love the fact that LA has a reggae scene: one they can dig every week of the year and that's worth talking about. It's not something you can find in the heartland. Another track from this album that explains the Aggrolites position on things is "Work It." With its simple lyrics and traditional reggae M.O., the band found a platform to express their pride in being able to get the job done when it comes to entertaining a crowd and showing loyalty to their faithful fans. They have no problem saying to the world, you got to work it so you can get it and it ain't easy!

aggrlites review
I am always open-minded about anything from hellcat records so I picked this up. Not a bad cd. Definitely party music. I would prefer them to drop the use of what appear to be synthethizers or something and just stick to basic instruments. That being said, they definitely know what they are...

Let down
The self-titled debut from the Aggrolites is quite stunning. This follow-up was a huge let down by comparison. The songs sound uninspired and don't have the same soul-filled punch of the first album. It sounds like they rushed this album through the studio with less care and thought into the...

Boot stompin to a new level
What the Eff? Ok, clarification...there are only two white dudes in this band! Jesse (chops) and Dixon (gee-tar). Rog (korg) and J Bonner (boom bass) are manic hispanics, and the drummer Kory Kingston is black-o-rican. So get it straight foos! As far as the album goes...it's heavy. A lot more...

Great summer album
I recently found out about the Aggrolites via Tim Armstrong's new release - they are his backing band sometimes. After picking up both cd's at my local store, I can't stop listening to the Aggrolites. The album is solid with all the songs decent, although nothing stands out as a monster hit...

Will put a smile on your face
Another reviewer deemed this album as only "worth borrowing," and bagged on these boys for the color of their skin. I'll come out and say it; that's a load of crap. This album, like their previous, is full of energetic reggae that just begs for you to get up and sing along. Nevermind the color...

Reggae from White Dudes
Sounds like the reggae parts of a sublime album. Perhaps a little more hardcore (reggae-wise) and with less hookage. Decent background music but will never beat a Lee Perry, King Tubby or Trojan Records Compilation in terms of authenticity and sheer ability to nod heads. Worth borrowing.
