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.

Liar
Goldfinger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you gonna do
Everybody lies
What you gonna do
Everybody lies
What you gonna do
Everybody lies
What you gonna do
Hey!
The lyrics of Goldfinger's song Liar delve into the idea that everyone lies and the consequences of that reality. The repetition of the lyrics "Everybody lies, what you gonna do" puts emphasis on the fact that deceit is a universal trait and that it's unavoidable. The song suggests that even though everyone lies, it's important to consider the implications of one's actions when telling a lie. It's a question to the listener - are they going to continue living in a world of lies or strive for honesty?
The urgency of the lyrics is emphasized by the refrain "Hey!" which is repeated multiple times. This adds to the tension of the song and suggests that the issue of lying is something that needs to be addressed. The song overall conveys a sense of frustration and disillusionment with the world, as if the singer is tired of the never-ending cycle of deceit.
