The Aggrolites ready for Warped Tour, film debut and more

With the South By Southwest Music Conference and the Vans Warped Tour Kick-Off Party under their belts, Los Angeles natives The Aggrolites are primed for the most important summer of their six year career.

Vans Warped Tour
The Aggrolites will dish a heavy dose of soulful, funky reggae thru their energetic live sets during North America's longest-running traveling punk rock summer camp known as Vans Warped Tour.

VWT Founder and Producer Kevin Lyman boasts, "They have everything I like in a band, a mix of The Untouchables, The Specials, Fun Boy Three, Madness and a lot more...This is one of the highlights of the summer, and I hope you enjoy this band as much as I do."

The 46-date tour will also showcase the likes of Angels & Airwaves, Pennywise, Paramore, Rise Against, Bedouin Soundclash, Story of the Year and The Vandals. VWT will kick off June 20 in Pomona, CA and will wrap August 17 in Los Angeles, CA. Visit www.warpedtour.com.

The Big Screen
The Aggrolites will make their sonic big screen debut with song contributions to the upcoming Endless Bummer motion picture and CD soundtrack. The teen surf comedy, starring Matthew Lillard and Executive Produced by VWT’s Kevin Lyman, will feature Aggro renditions of The Specials' "Ghost Town" and Musical Youth's "Pass the Dutchie." Both ‘80s classics have been updated with The Aggrolites’ signature dirty reggae style, and on "Pass the Dutchie," they are joined by legendary Jamaican DJ General Smiley of Michigan & Smiley fame.
