Before they were signed to a major label, they released an EP titled Richter. Many of the songs on Richter are demo versions of songs on their full length debut, Goldfinger, which was released in 1996. Their biggest single was "Here in Your Bedroom", though they also gained recognition from their song Superman, which was featured in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (1) video game. (Their song "Spokesman" was also included in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 video game) Though their second album, Hang-Ups, was less successful, the band still maintained a devoted fanbase in the hardcore community. Their third studio LP was Stomping Ground, which sold poorly in the US but was a modest hit in some European countries, thanks to their cover of Nena's "99 Red Balloons" sung partly in German. 99 Red Balloons was also featured in Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec, as well as the movie Eurotrip. Their next album, Open Your Eyes (2002), was the first for their new record label, Jive/Zomba.
Frontman John Feldmann has produced records for Mest, The Used (whose vocalist Bert McCracken sang some guest vocals on 'Open Your Eyes' and 'Ocean Size') and Story of the Year. He also produced Good Charlotte's single "The Anthem" (whose guitarist Benji Madden provides guest vocals on 'January'), which was originally named "Oracle of Elcaro". He also signed the band Unloco with Maverick Records. In early 2005, they released their first album for their new label, titled "Disconnection Notice". It featured the single "Wasted".
Former band members include bassist Simon Williams, who left the band following Hang-Ups (replaced by Kelly Lemieux), and Brian Arthur, who left the band following Disconnection Notice.

Goldfinger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where has passion gone?
Have I grown up
Am I too old
I don’t feel like I did
I need to feel
There’s nothing else
Nothing left
Where have I gone?
Where have I gone?
Then you come along to sing this song
Restore my faith like nothing’s wrong
You come along to sing this song
Restore my faith like nothing’s wrong
But I sing a new song
I feel sick
I need more than this
Where have I gone?
Where have I gone?
What shuts me down
Tears me apart
I don’t know what I am
Where’s the man
The man with dreams
One man alone
I haven’t changed a thing
In the song “Faith” by Goldfinger, the singer is questioning the state of their life and where their passion has gone. They ask themselves if they are too old or have grown up too much, and they don’t feel the same as they used to. They yearn for the feeling of passion and long for it to return. The singer is lost and doesn’t recognize themselves anymore. However, the chorus suggests that someone has come into their life and restored their faith, giving them the hope they need to carry on. Despite this, the singer still feels sick and unfulfilled, and they still question where they have gone and what has shut them down. They miss the version of themselves that dreamed big and had aspirations.
The song seems to be about a midlife crisis or a period of feeling lost and unfulfilled. The singer is struggling to find their place in life and is searching for meaning and purpose. The refrain of “where have I gone?” suggests a longing for a former self or a better version of themselves.
Overall, “Faith” by Goldfinger is a song about the struggle of finding passion and purpose in a world that can often leave us feeling unfulfilled. It speaks to those who may be going through a rough patch and encourages them to find hope and faith in the future.
