“The beauty of the JPT Scare Band is their ability to function as a unit in the nebulous field of the free form jam… Terry Swope is a gawdam genius. Definitely in the league with the best in that genre…Hendrix, Duane Allman, Robin Trower and Carlos Santana. The end result is nothing short of mind blowing.”
Tangerine Magazine (Glenn Tillman)
“Listening to this CD, you can’t help but wonder why Terry Swope isn’t revered with the same kind of awe and worship as Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower, Alvin Lee, and the rest of the 60’s/70’s guitar gods. Brain shaking phenomenal… their music is psychedelic/stoner/bluesrock ecstasy.”

“If the band had a signed contract back in the early 70s, there is no doubt they would be up there with Jimi Hendrix, Cream and Black Sabbath for guitar overload damage.”

“It starts off and grabs you right away with its true 70s blend of acid and blues. Pure volume and sweat… reminds me of a cross between Band of Gypsies and Led Zeppelin with a hint of King Crimson and John McLaughlin… Very very heavy – very guitar rock.”
JPT Scare Band, a psych jam band with the original 1974 lineup intact and still making meaningful music in the 21st century. Are the reviews listed above BS hype? Or is Terry Swope the real deal? Judge for yourself. The appreciation of art is subjective, not objective.
