Editorial Reviews

Dirty Reggae: 60s version meets modern day when you mix in lover's rock, bluebeat, rocksteady, and dub and let stew for a good long time. The band effortlessly blends the most authentic 60's Jamaican sound with their own brand of raw intensity and grit. It's a viscous stew called Dirty Reggae.

Better than their second album if you ask me, worth getting if you can.

Solid beats that you can move to. Songs were a good length and well constructed. As good as their other two CD's. A must have for reggae, and ska lover alike.

I had never heard (or heard of) The Aggrolites before they opened for Dropkick Murphys on St. Patrick's Day 2007. Not being a fan of reggae in the slightest, (don't have a single Bob Marley song, and have never found his music appealing), I was hesitant to give them a chance. Being impressed with the performance despite the crowd's general apathy, I checked out The Aggrolites' albums the day after the concert and man was I impressed. I listened to their self-titled album first, which I have to admit is a notch better than the debut that is "Dirty Reggae." However, all the songs on here are worth at least a few listens, and some have real sticking power.

Stand-out tracks: Jimmy Jack, Black Lung, Pop The Trunk, Lunar Eclipse (probably my favorite; The Aggrolites do some great instrumental songs)

Oh, and see them in concert as soon as you can. You won't regret it.
