JFA (Jodie Foster's Army) is a hardcore punk band formed in 1981, with roots in Arizona and in Southern California skateboard culture.  The band was pivotal in the development of the skate punk and Skate Rock scenes. Over the years, the lineup has included many bass players and drummers but the core of Brannon and Pendleton has remained constant.

They began playing together after a D.O.A. concert during the band's Hardcore 81 tour. The band's name is a reference to John Hinckley, Jr.'s, attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan. Jodie Foster's Army was a song before the band took the title as their name. in 2008, JFA signed with DC-Jam Records for the live release of "To All Our Friends", and have since returned to the studio for another new record which is due out in the summer of 2010.
