They were founded in California by John Feldmann on vocals and guitar, Simon Williams on bass, "Dangerous" Darrin Pfeiffer on drums, and Charlie Paulson on guitar.

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.

So you've decided to blame him again
For all you choices
Seem like the softer way out
You think it just might make life easier
Than swallow will it
You've made a fine career out of guilt
Maybe he just did the best he could with what he had
Maybe he just did the best he could

Forgiveness forgiveness
Try and let it go why don't you
Forgiveness
Just might save yourself

Forgiveness forgiveness
Try and let it go why don't you

You've made a fine career out of guilt
Maybe he just did the best he could with what he had
Maybe he just did the best he could

Round and round and round and round and round

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Goldfinger's "Forgiveness" call on the listener to let go of blame and guilt in order to move forward and find inner peace. The opening lines criticize the tendency to blame others for one's own choices, which may seem easier in the short term but ultimately prevent personal growth. The singer suggests that the listener has made a career out of feeling guilty and blaming someone else, but also acknowledges that the other person may have tried their best with what they had. The chorus repeatedly urges the listener to seek forgiveness and let go of their anger and resentment. The final lines emphasize that forgiveness begins with oneself and encourages the listener to start the process of healing.

Overall, this song is a powerful reminder that forgiveness is a process that may be difficult but ultimately leads to inner peace and personal growth. It challenges the listener to take responsibility for their own actions and emotions instead of blaming others, acknowledging that this is often not the easier path in the short term but ultimately leads to a better outcome.
