[The Sleeping Shaman] - "...You can almost feel your fillings loosen as Grigsby grinds on his bass and Swope lets loose another Hendrix snubbing volley of notes. This is easily the heaviest tune here and shows that JPT are capable of grinding, out riffing and out scaring most heavy bands before or since."

[Captain Beyond] - "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 the 1970's heavy fuzzed out rock.

[Bill's Music Forum and the Rock and Roll Report] - "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!"

[Rhapsody SoundBoard - Classic Rock Crate Digger: 10 Essential Proto Metal Albums:] "This wonderfully raw mismash of once forgotten demos is proto-metal heaven, particularly the 13 minute opus 'Sleeping Sickness'". "In 2007 Classic Rock Magazine tagged JPT as "the lost pioneers of heavy metal". "That's no overstatement, these dudes slayed with the best of them: Cactus, Black Pearl, Pentagram and so on."

[Acid Blues is the White Man's Burden:] From the first track, this just rocks you hard. All of the songs have a serious build up, and the structures develop as the band jams on these tracks. JPT Scare Band is not afraid of taking chances with their material, and by doing so they do come out sounding victorious. ...JPT Scare Band is perhaps rock's most hidden treasure."

[Roadburn.com] -"Album of the Day!"

[Ray Hogan, Goldmine Magazine] - ""Acid Blues is the White Man's Burden"" is a collection of seven tunes recorded between 1974 and 2004... "I've Been Waiting" is a template for the power trio format: a killer riff, a vocal that recalls the enormity of the 1970s arena rock and guitar solos."

[Sonic Abuse] - "A gem to treasure. Let the hypnotic music swirl around you. For anyone who wishes to delve into the heritage of the current crop of stoner bands, this is an unmissable compilation. [Acid Blues is the White Man's Burden] Terry Swope rivals some of the day's greats including Clapton and Hendrix. JPT Scare Band are the unsung heroes of the cult rock scene and now they have decided to remind the world of their phenomenal abilities... "I've Been Waiting" has a riff so heavy it could be encased in lead. Sits comfortably along side Black Sabbath."

[Ripple-Effect] With Acid Blues is the White Man's Burden, JPT Scare Band have created a sound equally heavy in hard rocking blues as it was tripped out in psychedeli. 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. Acid Blues is the White Man's Burden, a collection of unreleased gems from these acid rock freaks. If you've never heard the JPT Scare Band before, you're in for a treat. ...I've Been Waiting, is almost 10 minutes of guitar orgy ecstasy that sounds like Tommy Bolin sitting in with Budgie.

[Mark Kadzielawa, 69 Faces of Rock] - "...Despite the lesser known factor, the band is truly fantastic...Having heard JPT Scare Band before I knew what I was in for, but I'm certainly blown away by this release as well."

[Gears of Rock, Mike SOS] - "Acid Blues is The White Man's Burden, a fuzz-laden seven track time machine trip through the formative years of hard rock via a bevy of organically organized hazy blues jams that wouldn't sound out of place between Hendrix, Cream and Zeppelin on classic rock radio."

Tangerine Magazine- Glenn Tillman "...They are brain shaking phenomenal. ... Their music is psychedelic/stoner/bluesrock ecstasy...."
