The Aggrolites return with their mammoth 21 track 4th album, and if you thought they might of tired of that late 60’s early 70’s funky, reggae sound .…..well you’d be wrong. If you’ve had the pleasure to hear anyone of their previous 3 offerings then you can expect more of the same. I for one love ‘em and although their previous endeavours have never quite matched them for the thrills of catching them live, this one hits the mark more for me. So sometimes they can be a bit on the cheesy side, but this band isn’t here to change the world, they just wanna get down and party. Like they say ‘the band is playing, people are singing, gonna have a party tonight’ in ‘Wild Time’. IV I feel is their best LP yet, with minimum cheese and certainly their most soulful, which lends it‘s self well to lead singer Jesse Wagner’s style. Pick of this bunch are the Stax flavoured funk of opener ‘Firecracker’, instrumental groover ‘Soul Gathering’, ‘The Sufferer’ and the sweet rocksteady of ‘By Her Side’.
All in all a great blend of ska/funk/soul and reggae for people who like to party.
