JPT Scare Band

JPT Scare Band is an American rock band. It took its name from its members first initials and their "scary" acid rock and early heavy metal sound. Although the band did not release their first album until the early 1990s, they had formed in the early 1970s and made numerous recordings on a reel to reel tape deck in a basement. Songs from the album, Sleeping Sickness, went into fairly heavy rotation on FM stations WFMU and WNYU in New York, which played a role in lifting JPT up from obscurity.
