Album Description Imagine a band of southern California twenty-somethings who play a brand of rocksteady reggae and ska that sounds like nothing less than Wilson Pickett throwing a house party backed by The Meters and The Maytals. This self-titled debut is that rare album that sounds like the real thing; all the grit and tube-warmed funkiness you'd expect from a Studio One recording from say, 1965. Veterans of the so-Cal ska punk scene, The Aggrolites appeal equally to punks raided on Rancid and The Clash and to reggae purists in love with the deep ska of vintage Trojan and Studio One. Nineteen tracks of sing-alongs and instrumentals that sound like instant classics. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsFireball Music! T. BAXTER | Eugene, OR, USA | 06/17/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I am 55, white, and middle-class. I hardly know what Ska is, let alone "skinhead reggae." And when I first picked up this disk, I thought, "What do these WHITE BOYS think they're pretending to be?" But this stuff *EXPLODES* with pure energy. Brothers and sisters, if you can listen to this music and not move your body, you need to call 911, because you ain't breathin', Jackson!"" Good Ska - Reggae Seth Antona | Slate Hill, New York United States | 05/11/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "This band brings the old school sound of old time ska, and give it a breath of new life. Thumping rythm and groovy organs, with a few horns, make this an album for the summer. This album will be played all summer long, with albums by The Slackers, Westbound Train, Hepcat, and all the others that stay true to the sounds of the Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae." I want all you skinheads to get up on yo' feet, put your bra Larry Gordon Jr. | Scottsdale, AZ USA | 05/22/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Absolutely scorching skinhead reggae from these So-Cal boys. This album tears it up from start to finish and will definitely get your ass shakin' and you body groovin'. Fans of early Upsetters and Jackie Mittoo will love the reggae stylings and even fans of Stax's brand of Memphis soul and R&B will appreciate the raw energy of this disc. The Aggrolites are definitely not ska or rocksteady, but it's easy to confuse the sounds. Most people are unaware of the whole connection between reggae and the early skinhead scene, so it's only natural that they be misinformed. Hopefully people will embrace this album and truly understand what the real skinhead scene is all about. This album ranks up there as an essential buy for any traditional skinhead and will proudly sit in my collection. Highly recommended, but if we could only get this release on vinyl along with The Aggro's first album "Dirty Reggae""
