About

Members: Mike Tate (guitar / vocals), Tom Schabes (vocals), Scott Rock (bass), Steve Juarez (keyboards / samples), Paul Szlachta (drums)

Bio: Papa Jupiter is a raw mix of trip rock, punk and dub. They don't need to follow any current trends or pander to any specific audience to be respected. Their lyrics are gritty, socially conscious and at times visceral. Their music is a breath of fresh air from the predictable. With a reckless styl... See Full Bio

Press

“Who knew adding a pinch of punk and a dollop of dub to old-fashioned rock could be such an intriguing musical recipe? On their four-song sampler, Papa Jupiter blend these ingredients into captivating food-for-thought, especially on tunes such as “Keep Running” and “Million Miles.” “Bleeding Brains” is a tad too stylistically schizophrenic, but otherwise the disc is an inviting taste of things to come.”

— Jeff Berkwits, Illinois Entertainer

“Want to rock to a punk/lyrical rap/reggae/metal/screamo beat ...sometimes within the same song? Then SouthSide highly suggests checking out this rockin' eclectic band known as Papa Jupiter. And be prepared to get your ears rocked out by their music. They're totally wild going from one extreme to the next that this reviewer had a fun time trying to keep up with their ever changing music mood swings. For example, Jupiter's opening song started with a furious punk sound before swinging into a rhythmic reggae groove (which caught SouthSide by surprise) then BAM - rockin' the audience with lyrical screamo/rap rock fusion before returning to that funky reggae and ending in the original punk sound. Whew, what a rock high, blogspot readers! This reviewer suggests listening to Keep Running (had the audience rocking to the energetic rock/reggae mix full of wicked guitar riffs and keyboards rhythms) to familiarize your ears to Jupiter's eclectic style.”

— Tanya Vega, Southside On The Town

“Papa Jupiter's Keep Runnin' is now being played at Chicago White Sox games!”

— Chicago White Sox, Player At Bat Music

"This Chicago Based Punk / Reggae / Jam Band Finished A 4 Song Demo Here In February 2010. Consisting of many members from all over the Chicago Punk / Alternative scene, Papa Jupiter can be seen playing all over Chicagoland including the Double Door this fall! Check This Band Out!!"

— Nick Nativo, The Nook Recording Studio

“You’ve got the bouncy, dub-punk of Chicago’s Bad Brains-meets-Sublime act Papa Jupiter...”

— Richard Giraldi, loudlooppress

“Papa Jupiter sounds like guns and bloody skulls with holes drilled into them and then filled in with ghost pepper salsa, then drunk by devil worshipping teenagers, spit back out and caramelized with a blowtorch and cryogenically frozen until the year 2210, then reheated, eaten and digested, and pumped through future plumbing systems by the lizard people that came up from underground in the year 2014 and took over the world. All hail the lizard people!”

— Double Door, Chicago, Another Great Band Bio – Papa Jupiter

“Tom waits hanging out with the stooges going over to smash mailboxes in a beat up convertible.”

— Reggies Rock Club, Chicago, DJM Trio, Papa Jupiter, Jack in Space -- 21+
