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 ↴
How deep is the ocean?
How deep is the sea?
And how deep is my love?
How deep is your love?
How deep is the ocean?
How deep is the sea?
It's miles away
Miles away
Miles away
Yeah miles away
How much do you want?
And how far can I take you?
How bad does this hurt?
How much do I want you?
How blind can I be?
So when can I see you?
Will it ever be?
And how deep is my love?
It's miles away
Miles away
Miles away
Yeah miles away
It's miles away
Miles away
Miles away
Yeah miles away
Let's go
It's miles away
Miles away
Miles away
Yeah miles away
The lyrics of Goldfinger's song Miles Away convey the depth of love the singer feels towards someone. The repeated question "How deep is your love?" followed by "How deep is the ocean?" and "How deep is the sea?" portrays a sense of infinity, suggesting that their love is without bounds. The singer questions the extent of the other person's desire and how much they want from the relationship, while also acknowledging the pain and hurt that can come with love. The repeated phrase "miles away" implies the distance between the singer and their loved one, but it also highlights the intensity and difficulty of the emotional connection they share.
Overall, the song expresses the complexities of love and the difficulties of maintaining a relationship over distance and time. It also questions the strength of the bond between two people and whether their love can truly overcome all obstacles.
