Rolling Stone (p.100) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[A] glorious, surprising treat....Ideal for your next soul shake-down party."
The Aggrolites: Jesse Wagner (vocals, guitar); Brian Dixon (guitar); Roger Rivas (piano, organ); J Bonner (bass guitar); Scott Abels (drums).
Southern California reggae revival band the Aggrolites aren't just the usual punk-ska wannabes--instead, they play something very close to the real thing, with both an authentic sound and great rhythms. Influenced by Jamaican keyboard great Jackie Mittoo, the Upsetters, and Toots & the Maytals, the band roars its way through a lengthy set that recalls the music's mid-1960s glory days on cuts like the JBs-influenced "Funky Fire" and the Toots-like "Countryman Fiddle."
