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.

I Want
Goldfinger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don’t want to spend my time alone
Don’t want to waste my life, dwelling on the past
Don’t want to lock myself at home
‘Cause I want, I need, nothing less than you
I want nothing else at all
Explaining it away
Just want to spend my time with you
Don’t want to walk on ice
Don’t want to live on edge
‘Cause on the edge
I’m looking down
I want more, I want more
Don’t want to spend my time
Wishing you were here
Don’t want to spend my time alone
The lyrics to Goldfinger's song "I Want" express a desire for connection with someone the singer deeply cares about. The singer wants to be with this person all the time, not wanting to waste any moment being without them or dwelling on past experiences without them. The second verse reinforces this by emphasizing how the singer isn't interested in making excuses for their absence or living on edge, as being with this person brings them a sense of grounding and inner peace. The chorus reinforces that this person is everything the singer wants and needs, and that they don't desire anything else. The song is ultimately about the deep desire to connect with someone, and how this connection can bring a sense of belonging and fulfillment that transcends all other desires.
