Legendary Acid Rockers, JPT Scare Band, Drop Hard Rocking New Single and Video “Long Day” to Celebrate National 420 Day. Exclusive World Premiere on The Obelisk




After more than 3 solid months of Acid Blues is the White Man’s Burden, holding down a top 5 spot in CD Baby.com’s Extended Jam Category, legendary acid rockers, JPT Scare Band come roaring back with a blitzing assault on their newest single, “Long Day.”  Featuring the sizzling guitar work of Terry Swope, “Long Day,” tears through more than 7 minutes of searing guitar leads, massive bass riffs, and mammoth drum jamming, all in the definitive JPT Scare Band style.

To make things even more appropriate, JPT Scare Band and Ripple Music will release the single and world-premiere of the psychedelic video on April 20, 2011, National Weed Day.  The term 420 originated from a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in California in 1971. The teens met after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke out at the Louis Pasteur statue.  Since then, the date has become legendary in the Stoner Rock community.  An ethos JPT Scare Band embraces whole heartedly.

After years of plying their frenzied, hard-rocking, acid blues trade in near obscurity, the love and accolades keep pouring in for JPT Scare BandClassic Rock Magazine honored JPT by including their last single “Not My Fault” on their November cover-mounted CD.   After previously naming JPT Scare Band one of the “lost pioneers of heavy metal,” Classic Rock continued the love fest proclaiming that “JPT Scare Band plied a terrifying form of ear-bludgeoning hard rock that was so far ahead of its time, people are still trying to catch up.”

The world premiere of the hard-rocking, definitively heavy psych video for “Long Day,” will make its debut April 20th exclusively at The Obelisk, one of stoner rock’s premiere websites and the home of The Obelisk Forum, a watering hole for thousands of fans of hard, heavy, stoner and doom rock.  You can find the video here: The Obeliskhttp://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2011/04/19/jptvid/

 “Long Day” will be available as a digital single from CD Baby and all fine digital music emporiums.   Meanwhile, Acid Blues is the White Man’s Burden is still available in limited quantities from Ripple Music in two-toned, gatefold, double-LP with two bonus tracks, Deluxe digipack CD, or digital at www.ripple-music.com

Ripple News - Modern Day Moonshine Featured on KPIG’s Fresh Pork Chops Radio Show


It’s been quite the journey for Modern Day Moonshine over the past 6 months. Since releasing their third full-length album, Refuge, in November, the band has charted on various regional radio stations, placed on the Americana Music Association charts, were tapped to open for national touring act Brian Jordan in San Francisco, have been invited to perform a showcase for an advertising firm in the Bay Area, and now have become the featured act for this week’s Fresh Pork Chops radio program on KPIG-FM 107.5 in Santa Cruz.

During a massive AAA radio campaign that has highlighted tracks “Don’t Waste” and “Unsung” from the bands’ Refuge album, KPIG gravitated toward the album so much that for the next week at 7:00pm PST, the radio station will be airing tracks from the album.

Meanwhile, Modern Day Moonshine is working feverishly to hit the road to bring the album live to fans across the country! For those who can’t wait for more Modern Day Moonshine, join the bands Bootleggers Club and get the opportunity to hear unreleased, demos, brand new, and live tracks from their immense vault of material!
