CD Review: The Aggrolites, 'IV'
Posted 2009-05-19 14:02:52 by Spencer Sutherland

The Aggrolites

'IV'

For fans of: The Slackers, Hepcat


The Aggrolites call their genre "dirty reggae." What that term means becomes apparent in the first track. Amongst the relaxed reggae rhythms, Jessie Wagner sings, "I keep it chill/For a thrill/And if you're looking at me sideways/I'll come straighten out that grill."

The band is certainly not afraid of mixing it up a bit -- on the street or in the studio. Throughout "IV," The Aggolites blend a variety of influences into their reggae sound -- James Brown-esque soul ("Wild Time"), rock guitar ("It's Time to Go"), and soft-hearted balladry ("By Her Side").

But for the most part, the band sticks to reggae's core fundamentals -- feeling good and getting lost in the rhythm. And with 21 tracks, the good times can go all night long.
