The Aggrolites Bio
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. For seven
magnificent years, this dirty reggae bunch has rolled from city to city, across the pond
and up main street USA. They rally the kids, the parents, the students, the cops, the
bosses and the drifters. The people come, they relish in The Aggrolites, the dirty reggae
and the joy that comes with it all. The liberating rhythms and catchy grooves demand a
return trip.
Out of the Los Angeles school of hard knocks, The Aggrolites have earned a PhD 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
- a gift from the heavens, a perfectly intact gift from Otis, Sam, Ray and Wilson.
After eight years of touring the globe, The Aggrolites are proud to reveal their first
live album, Unleashed Live Vol. 1. With five previous studio releases under their belt,
including recently released Rugged Road, the next logical move for the band was a
compilation of their favorite songs recorded live from recent shows at The Belly Up in
Solana Beach, CA and The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, CA. Unleashed Live Vol. 1
features songs from all four previous studio releases plus a version of The Beatles “Don’t
Let Me Down” and “Banana” by the legendary reggae artist, Roy Ellis. Release date will
be announced sometime this fall and available digitally worldwide and in select retail
outlets nationwide.
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 playing alongside
legends, and from the energy and motivation of their die hard fans.
The Aggrolites are Jesse Wagner (vocals, lead guitar), Roger Rivas (organ), Jeff Roffredo
(bass), Ricky Chacon (guitar) and Alex Mckenzie (Drums).
They have five other full-length albums to their credit -- Dirty Reggae (Axe, 2003),
The Aggrolites (Hellcat, 2006) and Reggae Hit L.A. (Hellcat, 2007), IV (Hellcat, 2009)
and Rugged Road (Young Cub, 2011) “A glorious, surprising treat. Ideal for your next
soul shakedown party,” raved Peter Relic from Rolling Stone. In 2007, the band also
collaborated with Rancid front man Tim Armstrong on his solo A Poet's Life (Hellcat
2007) CD/DVD release.
The Aggrolites are well represented in film, television and video games. Their songs
have been featured in NBC's Friday Night Lights, MTV's The Hills, Nick Jr.'s Yo Gabba
Gabba, USA's Dr. Steve-O, MavTV's Rad Girls, the award-winning surf film The Pursuit,
and Australian video game Cricket. The Aggros-backed, Tim Armstrong and Skye
Sweetnam duet, "Into Action," is featured in Dream Works Pictures' Hotel For Dogs and
Summit Entertainments "50/50" featuring Joseph Gorden-Levitt and Seth Rogen. Their
renditions of The Specials' "Ghost Town" and Musical Youth's "Pass The Dutchie" will
be heard in the upcoming teen surf comedy Endless Bummer, and "Free Time" will be in
Walden Media's musical-romantic comedy Band Slam.
The Aggrolites have shared the stage with Social Distortion, Rancid, Slighty Stoopid,
Flogging Molly, 311, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Dropkick Murphys, Rebelution,
Against Me! and Gogol Bordello. They have graced the stages at such notable events as
Vans Warped Tour, SXSW, Coachella, Fuji Rock in Japan, West Coast Riot, Open Air
St. Gallen, Pohoda Festival, Rebellion Festival, Chiemsee Reggae Festival, Couvre Feu
Festival, among numerous others around the world.
