The band formed in early 1989 and played their 1st show in November of that year. The original line-up consisted of Joe Rimicci (guitar), Brian Priess (bass), and Joe Doherty (vocals). After many line-ups were changed, Doherty, Rimicci and Priess had remained permanent members.

The band's first two albums, Unstuck in Time (1990) and It's Lonely at the Bottom (1992), were released independently. Then, the band signed a licensing deal with BYO and two albums with this label, Elimination (1994) and 13 Kiddie Favorites (1995), all featuring the same pure punk sound, unsullied by the glam rock that was all the rage in L.A. at the time. BYO also released It's Lonely at the Bottom/Unstuck in Time, a repackaging of their first two albums. Jughead's Revenge parted ways with BYO and signed with Dexter Holland (from The Offspring)'s Nitro Records, then released three more albums with this label, Image Is Everything (1996), Just Joined (1998) and Pearly Gates (1999), before (officially) splitting up in April 2001.

In 2005, Joey Rimicci, Brian Priess and Andy Alverez recruited Bob Oedy for the reunion of Glue Gun. The band is supposedly gearing up for their third studio release, which is due for release sometime in 2007. Currently, members of the most successful line-up of Jughead's Revenge, Rimicci, Preiss and Thornton, are back together under the name Kill Detail and recently posted a new song at Myspace.

Inside of You
Jughead's Revenge Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There is a place inside of you
One that won't let you
Let the real thing show
Too many lies have left their mark too soon
The weight is something that I know
Don't be afraid to let it go
It starts with something
The pain along the way

Uninvited by the world we hate
So let the world just disappear
It's not for you to take the weight
Because in the end
You know we'll have our way
There is a place inside of us
No one can take away from me and you
They're just losers in the crowd
Poisoning each other
And it's true that no one cares if they're around
So throw away the world
That made you sad
Both you and I know that
They've all been had

Tonight the angels gave our way
To smash and live another day
