Album Review: The Aggrolites, "IV" (Hellcat)

In the interest of full disclosure, I am not a ska fan. The genre in general just doesn't do it for me. To my ears, it's a somewhat homogenized and monotonous sound, and ultimately has something of a narcoleptic effect on me. So it was with trepidation that I approached The Aggrolites, a reggae outfit from Los Angeles. To my surprise, they won me over right at the outset.
