After eight years of touring the globe, Los Angeles-based band, 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.

"Fresh" off the entire 44–date Vans Warped Tour, The Aggrolites are yet again headlining a tour around the country, this time in support of their live release. The band will start in San Diego on September 9th making stops in: San Francisco, Texas, New Orleans, Atlanta, Orlando, Washington, D.C., New York, Toronto, Chicago and Denver. Joining them will be the theatrical Japanese punk rock group, Peelander-Z and the innovative psychedelic reggae quartet, Roots of Creation. Based in NYC, Peelander-Z dynamic live show has gathered attention from worldwide media outlets with a feature by Spin Magazine from their 2011 SXSW performance. Hailing from the northeast, Roots of Creation have combined the laidback grooves of Sublime with the interpretive musicianship of Phish and STS9.

The Aggrolites are more than a band; they are a movement unto themselves carrying a banner created with their own hands. This banner reads "Dirty Reggae" and represents their signature fusion of reggae, soul, grit and determination. For eight years this 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.
