Pearly Gates is a studio album by Jughead's Revenge, released in 1999.[3] A lawsuit filed by Archie Comics forced the band to change their name to Jugg's Revenge; the band went on indefinite hiatus in 2001.[4]

Critical reception[edit]

Exclaim! wrote that the album "proves exactly why this quartet is hailed one of the originators of the SoCal pop-punk sound that has been appropriated by so many other bands."[5] Skiing deemed it "California hardcore as bright and perfect as the halfpipe dreams ricocheting between the ears of untold thousands of high schoolers."[6]
