J.F.A. Blatant Localism EP 1981



JFA was formed around March of 1981. and came out with their debut EP "Blatent Localsm" in late 1981. Pendleton, then in the band "The Deez" and Cornelius, then in the band "Jr. Chemists", knew each other from shows around Phoenix, Arizona and from skateboarding. They began playing together after a D.O.A. concert during the band's Hardcore 81 tour. Bam-Bam later joined after meeting Pendleton at an "Industrial Dance" in Phoenix, and bestowed the moniker on the band,(Jody Fosters Army) which is a reference to his second-cousin's, John Hinckley, Jr., attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan.
The band's first show was opening for Black Flag at an Industrial Dance which was one of a series of early Phoenix punk shows. Their first song of the night was Pipetruck. I Can't stress enough how much these guys influenced me.
