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.

Then I'm not right with anyone
Oh, I have to see this through
'Cause I know you're the only one
(The only one)
Yesterday I had the chance to make it all work out
But I shot myself so many times in the foot, I had to shout
Well, I'm the guy from way back when, stalking devote
So take my hand and burn it
If I'm not right with you
Then I'm not right with anyone
Oh, I have to see this through
'Cause I know you're the only one
Yesterday I had the chance to make it all okay
The flowers and the ring I bought couldn't take my words away
(Couldn't take my words away)
Hello, hello, hello again, could you forgive my life?
'Cause everything I said was wrong, so please remove the knife
Then take my hand and burn it
If I'm not right with you
Then I'm not right with anyone
Oh, I have to see this through
'Cause I know you're the only one
(The only one)
I know it's hard to be true
I know it's hard to be true
If I'm not right with you
Then I'm not right with anyone
Oh, I have to see this through
'Cause I know you're the only one
(The only one)
If I'm not right with you
Then I'm not right with anyone
Oh, I have to see this through
'Cause I know you're the only one
(The only one)
The only one
I know it's hard to be true
I know it's hard to be true
The lyrics to Goldfinger's "The Only One" appears to be about a man who realizes that he needs the person he is singing to in order to be happy. The first verse highlights this realization by stating that if he is not "right" with this person, then he is not right with anyone. This suggests that he sees this person as the key to his happiness, and if he can't be with them, then he won't ever be happy. The frenetic energy of this song emphasizes the urgency of his message, and the repetition of the chorus underscores this idea.
In the second verse, the singer acknowledges that he has messed up in the past, but he is determined to make things right. He pleads with the person to forgive him; he seems to realize that he has made mistakes, but he is sorry and is trying to fix everything. The line "take my hand and burn it" could be a metaphor for him wanting to rid himself of his past mistakes, so he can start fresh with the person he is singing to.
The final verse is a repetition of the chorus and a reiteration of his desperate need to be with this person. He acknowledges that it is hard to be true, which could imply that he has struggled with being honest or faithful in the past, but he wants to try and make things right.
Overall, "The Only One" is a plea for forgiveness and a declaration of love. The singer wants to prove his devotion to the person he is singing to and make things right so they can be together.
