The Aggrolites are more than a band they are a movement unto themselves. They carry a banner - one created with their own hands. This banner reads, Dirty Reggae, and represents their signature fusion of reggae, soul, grit and determination. 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 reminding of Otis, Sam, Ray and Wilson. 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 the energy and motivation of their fans and from playing alongside legends like Prince Buster, Derrick Morgan and The Skatalites, ska veterans like Madness and Rancid and rock outfits like the Dropkick Murphys.

'A glorious, surprising treat. Ideal for your next soul shakedown party', raved Peter Relic from Rolling Stone about Reggae Hit L.A.

CD: Rugged Road (Feb 2011 / Young Cub Records)
