[@tristan16291]

I really like the youthful energy of this ep!

[@andylane3739]

1984. JFA plays party at our band house in west PHX. LSD. Police helicopters for lighting.

[@markraymond7235]

JFA was one of the most kick butt hardcore punk rock skate band around. We used to blast air at my half-pipe in Wilmington to JFA. KILLLLLL!

[@wroth_]

wilmas!

[@nataliejaded]

Dude Wilmington CA???

[@markraymond7235]

Yup! Papeete St (Wilmington Blvd / L st).

[@nataliejaded]

@@markraymond7235 Insane!!! That’s literally like 5 minutes away from me, never listened to JFA but I’m glad their music found me. I haven’t lived in Wilmington all my life so it catches me off guard when someone mentions this place haha Can’t imagine all of the good ass memories you made here, thanks 4 sharing!

[@johnnyismac]

Skater twatts are what I fuck

[@toddjacobsen4381]

I was into acdc but i had a ramp so it was okay.... The burly punk of the neighborhood lent me this album but I had to break my KISS records. It was a great day

[@MrSneaksful]

You chose wisely and sounds like a great neighborhood!

[@MushroomsMythologyandMedicine]

I had a JFA skateboard. Concave was like a swimming pool. Used to ride JFA and listen to this. Good times.

[@briangoad5909]

I had one too!!!

[@ministeredward8579]

My first Pit was JFA!!!!

[@middleclassic]

I have not listened to this in years. All I know is when this came out in ‘81 I was all over this since I had just graduated HS and skate core kinda stuff I always bought. What’s driving me nuts is not knowing when and where I parted ways with this single. I always remembered Count because it made me laugh it was done almost before it begins. This is awesome, good listen.

[@jasonchar2573]

This brings me back, back then if you felt punk you were punk, it wasn't about what you wore! At shows anyone could grab the mic and sing! didn't matter if you knew the lyrics or how wasted you were!

Found this guys after watching the silence of the lambs, blessed algorithms, JODIE FOSTER'S ARMY!!

[@evanmiddlekauff5439]

BEACH BLANKET BONG-OUT BEACH BLANKET BONG-OUT BEACH BLANKET BONG-OUT!

[@jasonw8124]

Saw these guys at the Silver Dollar in Phoenix. JFA merch was sold at the local Thrasherland. Days gone by!

[@NorthcountyD]

Used to love watching Brian skate locally as "Captain Brian" cape and all. He was such a showman.

[@giuseppe_M]

THANKS

[@zombiebaby]

met these guys last night best night ever and they r really cool ass dudes!!!!!

[@Nothingggspecialtv]

Yo!!!’n I remember seeing them a few years ago at UNIT B skatepark/venue in Santa Ana Ca.!! They played there twice, but the second time HOLY COW it was raining people from the second floor , everyone was dancing and fools were skating the pools! JODY FOSTERS ARMY FOREVER!!

[@sonnyday6727]

I remember Unit B, kick ass place. They also played out here in Canoga Park around that time, at The Cobalt Cafe.

[@colddaze6680]

When you just want some good old snotty punk rock that you don't have to take to seriously..

[@herbyverstink]

[@jimmytgoose476]

[@rich_t]

The soundtrack of my youth!!!

[@DamionPhoto1]

Saw J.F.A. at CBGB's. They were firing bottle rockets out of their school tour bus into the welfare hotel above the club. Great set.

[@ThatAdultCrash24]

Is JFA a punk band? I just found out that Sisters of Mercy are not a goth band so I'm going around to every band I like and asking their true fans what these band are. Only you can help me.

[@demolazer]

No, they are more commercial pop music imo

[@dariusblue3390]

dasmegacool ......str8 up skate punks.....those r the band members on the cover.....they all skated....if this is punk what is???

[@surfpunkskunk636]

I wouldn't get too hung up on classifications but if ya looked up skate punk in an encyclopedia there would be mugshots of JFA, RKL and Gang Green. Surf punk was earlier and more melodic like Agent Orange and early TSOL. SOM were goth like but they came a bit later and were a bit more commercial. Its ike how people call the Offspring skate-punk. There not punk and likely can't skate (well enough to be skate punks) but were certainly influenced by it.
