JPT Scare Band to release new album

JPT Scare Band - Acid Blues is the White Man's Burden
"Each track sizzles with nostalgia, with fuzzy guitars, gritty vocals, and extended jam sessions that instantly transport you to what feels like a Hendrix concert. Everything grooves in its own right. . . will undoubtedly dazzle fans of classic blues rock. Terry Swope has got to be one of the world's most underrated guitarists! If you miss the glory days of Cream, Deep Purple, and Jimi Hendrix, you have to check out these uncovered gems from JPT Scare Band." - Bill's Music Forum and the Rock and Roll Report.

Legendary rockers, JPT Scare Band, released some of the most collectible psychedelic/acid rock of all time. Banded together during the tumultuous years of the early 70’s, JPT Scare Band fused a sound equally heavy in hard rocking blues as it was tripped out in psychedelia, creating a sound so imposing that it perfectly reflected the emotions of the era. JPT were formed by drummer Jeff Littrell, bassist Paul Grigsby, and guitarist / vocalist Terry Swope, who could rival Hendrix, Clapton and Page with his otherworldly guitar work.

Hailed as one of the "lost pioneers of Heavy Metal” by Classic Rock Magazine, JPT Scare Band has seen a resurgence of interest by fans of 1970’s heavy fuzzed out rock. In the waning months of 2009, JPT Scare Band merged their energies with indie rock label, Ripple Music, to release Acid Blues is the White Man’s Burden, a collection of unreleased tracks, extended jams, and outstanding cover tunes that will help bridge the gaps of the JPT chronology and turn on a whole new generation to their classic version of acid-rock. JPT is back and ready to roar!

Acid Blues is the White Man's Burden will be available in CD, digital and deluxe multi-colored double 12" vinyl formats. LP edition will include two previously unreleased bonus tracks. Available world-wide through the Ripple Music Store on June 22nd, 2010!
