The Aggrolites: Brian Dixon, Jesse Wagner (guitar); Roger Rivas (organ); J. Bonner (bass instrument); Korey "Kingston" Horn (drums). Additional personnel: Boogie Jones (saxophone); Tom Cook (trombone); MC Junor Francis (unknown instrument); Nicki Mansuetti, Christina Wagner, Gabe Aguirre (background vocals). The West Coast reggae revivalists the Aggrolites take their inspiration from the Jamaican Studio One and Lee Perry records of the 1960s and early-'70s, going beyond the manic third-wave ska energy of many of their peers in favor of a more authentic, classically swaying sound. Tracks such as "You Got 5" and "Rhythm and Light," with their remarkably accurate evocation of such late-'60s instrumentals as "Double Barrel" and "The Liquidator," point to the band's immersion in the genre's sound and style, and their expertise in translating it for a 21st-century audience.
