Saw them maybe a year or two ago in Charlotte, NC with Dropkick Murphys. I had never heard of them, but after their set, I didn't give a shit about seeing Dropkick! i was completely blown away. These guys are HELLA-AWESOME!!!!!
my buddy's know em too. korey is a pretty cool dude, i hung out with him for a bit after the show here in AZ. i love how they play old school reggae for an oncore
Ska came from the fusion of the off-beat in jazz with the us r n'b of the 50's, together with jamaican music of the 50's ie mento and calypso. It slowed down around 1967 with the hot summer to become briefly rocksteady. Skinhead reggae followed up to around '69 / 70 wherupon reggae took over. Dub (remixes) of reggae and rocksteady tracks using DJ 'toasters' like Uroy was the final phase of the reggae revolution of the '70s. The rest is, as they say, history. Sorry, I went on a bit there.
I saw these guys at their first show... They opened for Derrick Morgan as the rough and tough allstars and they played a bunch of Lee Perry covers and it sounded great. They did a great job backing him as well... Then I have to admit I didn't like em for their earlier years. Pop the trunk was a deal breaker. But they've gotten much better over time. Now I like them as a band and they represent LA so.... Congrats Aggrolites on all your successes!
i love that when they come out on stage you think "holy shit these guys look hardcore as shit!" but then they bust out with that chill ass ska guitar and jam the fuck out!
Actually, romasflame, reggae has incorporated blues and soul since the 50's. It's that style that the original mods and skinheads listened too. They were black AND white. Ska also came from this eventually.
@evanparker Pretty sure it's a Vox or Hammond M3... It's a chop and if you look in LA's Craigslist music section... the dude that built an organ or two for Roger (from the Aggros), can be easily found. He sells Hammond Organs and posts a lot of ads. Search for Hammond Organ... and you'll see his ads. If you email him, he'll probably email you back with specifics on the organ. Cheers
Korey was in the original line up. Scott(white drummer) came in for the "The Aggrolites" self title album (red album) and Korey came back. Personally, I prefer Scott's drum style. Scott has more of a "traditional skinhead reggae" 60's style, whereas Korey has a bit more 70s funk influence.
Same story here. It was funny, because a bunch of people moved back and were like "Its gonna be a fucking reggae band". I was like "Fuck yes" and moved up. Then they came on and rocked it and there C.D.s they had sold out.
Ska's normally more fast paced and usually dosen't have the organ as much as Reggae tends to. Just like Reggae dosent have as much horns as Ska does, but the basic idea is the same.
Talent? Nah. Skill? To a certain extent. I will admit that it's really hard to play guitar solos/riffs fast, or drum fast while playing it clean, but that doesn't make you good. First off, as romasflame said, this is reggae, and lots of people like it. And if you don't, then don't waste your time searching for it on RUclips and trying to get a rise out of people by saying negative things.
u guys dont know shit abt music... thats sad! this is fucking reggay, cant u tell by the heavy bass and drums, the guitar shuffle and the hammond organ??? this is basic knowledge.
just saw them in athens, greece. such a kick ass live, such a dirty reggae vibe!
just love 'em!
One of their best songs. Such a an amazing live band I must say, Saw them in SF twice.
Agreed! I saw them open for Flogging Molly in FLA, had no clue who they were. Played the first few tunes and was upset they had to give up the stage.
I saw these guys live before a madness concert at the Manchester MEN, they were awesome :)
if the sound is turned off, someone might imagine they are playing something much more hardcore

These guys are guaranteed to get a crowd stompin' - going to see them open for Madness on the UK tour and can't wait!
Saw them maybe a year or two ago in Charlotte, NC with Dropkick Murphys. I had never heard of them, but after their set, I didn't give a shit about seeing Dropkick! i was completely blown away. These guys are HELLA-AWESOME!!!!!
Damn! These guys sound tight! I hope they come to Denver soon.

Master Big tune Mr misery

Damn i remember seeing this on fox...sadly i think fox rox doing show anymore...could be wrong though. Awesome performance nonetheless!
Yeah, def one of the best ska bands out there. Although they do look like they're just about to rock out to some punk tunes.
Korey was in the original line up. Scott(white drummer) came in for the "The Aggrolites" self title album (red album) and Korey came back. Personally, I prefer Scott's drum style. Scott has more of a "traditional skinhead reggae" 60's style, whereas Korey has a bit more 70s funk influence.

@secondfdcpl Same here man. They lit it up!!
They aren't a patch on Peter André
Bad Ass
cool
what kind of organ is that :-/ i can't figure it out
...its Dirty Reggae!
What organ is that?!?
pure spirit of 69
so did i...
tune bass please!
@zzbeez fuck yeah!
Its more reggae then ska, but I see the point you're making.
@D Williams It's been 13 years
@mykeyaccident oh and GOOD DAY
18 people are deaf or summin!!!!!!
Yo Gabba Gabba...
yeah he was probly real high hahaha
yea the bass is totally out on there whole set. Great song tho. Saw them at madness
actually korey is married to summer horn
haa
korey is my cousin
=] ha thats funny though
the bass is out of tune or am i really high?
Заебцом жгут!
That bass needs to be tuned.
its a little sharp
i think they would sound better without brass.....but thats just my opinion =)
Ska's normally more fast paced and usually dosen't have the organ as much as Reggae tends to. Just like Reggae dosent have as much horns as Ska does, but the basic idea is the same.
if it's good music, it's fine by me. obviously all of us here like a good ska and reggae beat. i don't get why people gotta be all up-tight?

are you serious? people are gettin bent over this?
are you serious?
you realise ska was the precursor to reggae? it's disgusting how misinformed some of you are. reggae wasn't even around in the 50s.
Good band, would be better with brass
tune your bass dude lol
eek...is the bass out of tune or is that just me?
either way they kick ass!
indeed bass is fat and groovy but out of tune as hell. great song anyway. love the aggrolites
now that i am sober. i really can tell it's way out of tune.
hate to break it to yah,
but ska came from reggae
1st wave ska is pretty much reggae
More like outa tune. Good jam tho
yo awesome song butthat guys bass is way out of tune or everyone else is
u guys dont know shit abt music... thats sad!
this is fucking reggay, cant u tell by the heavy bass and drums, the guitar shuffle and the hammond organ???
this is basic knowledge.
Nice song!!! The bass is out of tune...
the bass is way out, tonto!
Lead singer has a good vioce and a solid stage presence, but the music is pretty lame IMO.
no one cares about he bass
