The band's name comes from the English slang term agro, which is commonly thought to be short for aggravation or aggression (often referring to violence).
In 2003, the Aggrolites released their debut album, [i]Dirty Reggae[/i], on local reggae label Axe Records. The album was recorded at Signet Studios in Los Angeles in one day, with each song recorded in one take, and with many lyrics improvised on the spot.
In December 2006 they toured the UK as the support band for Madness.
