John Paul put together the Jamm Vapour, "Ramona" video and the Rumdum Daddy documentary of the 2004 recording session at Berry Music Group. Using Computer and hand drawn animation along with some black magic, he came up with some cool stuff to melt into as your eyes and ears soak in it.

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."
JPT Scare Band traffic in epic guitar-led passages that would scare off trust-fund hippies faster than you can say, "There's ham in the vegan pad thai." (The Obelisk)
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. (Ripple-Effect)
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.(Woody)
Ripple Effect, Racer: "Take a solid, Cream-based blues outfit, mix in the wildest, most psychedelic moments of Hendrix feedback, throw in loads of distortion and a grocery bag full of LSD and the final result will be something like the proto-metal/psych jamming of the JPT Scare Band."
When it comes to marathon sweat-drenched acid jams, Kansas City's JPT SCARE BAND stand the test of time, from 70s material like "Sleeping Sickness" to their latest album "Jamm Vapour". Peacedogman's Will Broadbent
Charlie Quaker TheRawk.com:  "An obscure & eclectic Hendrix influenced, brain cracked power rock trio... Truly some of the most brilliant and disturbed guitar playing on record. "
Andy Perseponko: "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."
Tangerine Magazine- Glenn Tillman "...They are brain shaking phenomenal. ... Their music is psychedelic/stoner/bluesrock ecstasy...."
blog entry from a fan in France: "Well, to be completely honest, I am not escaped unharmed from listening to this album, heavy, very heavy, my ears have completely lost the habit of listening to this style of music...RAPE OF TITAN'S SIRENS is undoubtedly one of rock albums of the most violent that I have the opportunity to listen."

HellrideMusic.com, Chris Barnes "The beauty of the JPT Scare Band is it's ability to function as a unit in the nebulous field of the free-form heavy jam. They start with a chord progression and the rest is a musical conversation, the direction dictated by unspoken energies. Terry Swope is a gawdam genius. One of the best all around soul guitarists I've ever heard... Definitely in the league with the best in that genre."

"They just get into a groove, a steady, freaky space and hold that intention, moving time and space through their amps. This is where the album title came from. A full-out acid-drenched jam, allowed to go where ever the vapors flowed." (Ripple Effect, Racer)
