JPT Scare Band Re-Releasing Two Early Albums

Banded together during the tumultuous years of the early 70s, proto-metal toufti 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.

Formed by guitarist/vocalist Terry Swope, drummer Jeff Littrell, and bassist Paul Grigsby, JPT Scare Band began recording songs in a Kansas City basement and soon compiled a vault full of reel-to-reel tapes that would make up much of the band’s catalogue.

Though formed in 1973, JPT Scare Band’s first album, "Acid Acetate Excursion," wasn’t released until 1994, over twenty years after the band’s formation. In conjunction with Monster Records, the released two more albums, 1998’s "Rape Of Titan’s Sirens" and 2000’s "Sleeping Sickness."

The new millennium has seen JPT Scare Band delve deeper into the archive of recorded material accumulated through massive jam sessions throughout the 70s, as well as the 90s, and a flood of product was soon released. Through the band’s self-realized label Kung Bomar, seven albums hit the streets, including 2009’s "Rumdum Daddy."

In the waning months of 2009, JPT Scare Band merged energy with 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 helped bridge the gaps in the JPT chronology.

This April, Ripple Music will release a very special LP set consisting of JPT's first two, seminal releases – "Acid Acetate Excursion" and "Rape Of The Titan's Sirens" – re-presented in full, with new gatefold album art that incorporates the images of the original two albums.

"Acid Acetate Excursion" and "Rape Of The Titan's Sirens" will be released together via Ripple Music on April 28th, 2015.
