skate punks JFA will return with The Last Ride, their first studio album in way too long, in May via DC Jam Records. The songs on The Last Ride range from the liars and their deluded followers actively attempting to dismantle everything that ever made America great, to barreling surf music, dewatered swimming pools, good punkers gone but not forgotten and the searing truth that asphalt has taken a piece out of everyone who’s ever ridden a skateboard down a hill.

However, the album’s title does not indicate the imminent demise of the OG Skate Rock band that launched a thousand stage dives, JFA are still delivering tight, raging, musical, skate punkitude. This shouldn’t be a surprise as it’s members have an impressive combined musical rap sheet having played in The Blades, The Crowd, China White, The Outsiders, The Cadillac Tramps, Shattered Faith, Big Drill Car, US Bombs, Die Hunns, TSOL and Devils Brigade,.

“Last ride refers to ‘one more’ at the end of a skate or a surf session. You either bring it (get a killer ride) or sometimes go for it to the point of slamming hard. Nobody does a safety run after saying ‘one more’ — while many skaters won’t even say ‘one more’ out loud (the mojo is that strong).” (guitarist Don Redondo)
