| Get
comfy, 21 tracks is a lot to digest, but if you are in
the mood for smooth, easy to swallow sounds, then this
is an album for you. Album begins in sensational form
with 'Firecracker', from then on you are taken on a ride
of varied sounds, all soulful and loaded with groove.
Would work wonders as background music at a party. The
band captures a classic sound and give it a modern shine
that should appeal to most people's taste. If you already
know them, you'll love it, if you don't know them, take
the time to have a listen, it's a great album. |

THE LOWDOWN - THEY SAY
WHO?
The Aggrolites are : Jesse Wagner (vocals, lead guitar), Brian Dixon
(rhythm guitar), Roger Rivas (organ) and Jeff Roffredo (bass). They
have three full-length albums to their credit -- 'Dirty Reggae'
(Axe 2003), 'The Aggrolites' (Hellcat 2006) and 'Reggae Hit L.A.'
(Hellcat 2007). Out of the Los Angeles school of hard knocks, The
Aggrolites have earned a Ph.D in "feel good music." On
the road they educate with the thunder and punch of the reggae drums
and bass, the ripping, soulful melodies of the organ and guitars,
and Jesse Wagner’s voice - a gift from the heavens, a perfectly
intact gift from Otis, Sam, Ray and Wilson. For seven magnificent
years, this dirty reggae bunch has rolled from city to city, across
the pond and up main street USA. They rally the kids, the parents,
the students, the cops, the bosses and the drifters. The people
come, they relish in The Aggrolites, the dirty reggae and the joy
that comes with it all. The liberating rhythms and catchy grooves
demand a return trip.
WHAT?
The Aggrolites have a specific way of making music. They don't over
think it, they don't obsess over pop culture demands, they walk
onto a stage or into a recording studio and let "it" happen
- a culmination of inspiration - from the road, from playing along
side music legends, and from the energy and motivation of their
die hard fans. 'IV' is a definitive chapter in The Aggrolites journey
with 21 tracks; each one a story of their struggle to thrive and
their quest to spread soulful music around the globe.
WHERE?
'IV' will be released in Australia on Friday June 5th on HellCat
/ Shock. You'll be able to grab it in all good music stores and
online stores.
