Jughead's Revenge is an American punk rock band. They originally formed in Los Angeles in 1989. To date, Jughead's Revenge has released six studio albums (the most recent being 1999's Pearly Gates). After 13 years of recording and touring extensively, Jughead's Revenge disbanded in 2001 due to a lawsuit with Archie Comics, but announced in December 2009 that they were reuniting. The band has continued to perform at a number of live shows since 2010 and is currently working on new material that will appear on 7" releases.
Jughead's Revenge was formed in 1989 when guitarist Joe Rimicci and Bassist Brian Preiss (ex Broadax members) was looking for a singer for their new band and met Joe Doherty through mutual friends in Rimicci's band Cholos on Acid. The three along with drummer Kevin Heller started the first line up.
After performing their first show together in 1989, Jughead's Revenge recorded their first album, Unstuck in Time, in the spring of 1990 on the band's Lawsuit Records with new drummer Nenus Givargis. Recorded in two days at Westbeach Recorders in Hollywood, the album was produced by Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz and engineered by Donnell Cameron. It was limited to one thousand copies pressed on black twelve-inch vinyl. In the summer of 1990, the band set out on their first tour of the U.S. with local punk outfit One Direction. With the money they made on the first tour the band released a single with live and studio songs from Unstuck in Time. Out of Beer, Out of Tune and Out of Control was released in 1991. Limited to a pressing of five hundred on blue seven-inch vinyl it featured live songs recorded at 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, California on the previous tour. Also a live version of "Fabric of the Mind" was recorded for a split single with NOFX for Ox Fanzine in Germany.
Jughead's Revenge's second full-length, It's Lonely at the Bottom, was released in 1992. Recorded between tours at Westbeach Recorders (where the previous album was recorded), it was produced by Poison Idea's Thee Slayer Hippie and engineered by Donnell Cameron. Originally a CD only release on Cash Money Records in the U.S., it was pressed on twelve-inch vinyl on Do It! Records in Germany. The band set out on their first tour of Europe in the spring of 1992. After this, George Snow would go on to play in the Bad Samaritans full-time.
