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.

My Girlfriend's Shower Sucks
Goldfinger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It chills me to the bone
It makes me wish that I was
Cleaning myself at home
It makes me grumpy and
Sometimes I lose hope
The water's hard, so I can
And it's got no pressure
The water dribbles down on me
And it's got no pressure
It's like the shower's going pee
Goldfinger's song "My Girlfriend's Shower Sucks" is a humorous take on the struggles of having access to poor showering facilities. The song is all about a shower that is inadequate in so many ways that it makes the singer feel uncomfortable and unhappy whenever he has to use it. The lyrics talk about the fluctuation in temperature that makes the singer feel cold, and how he wishes he could be cleaning himself at home. The water's hardness is another issue, making it impossible to rinse away soap effectively.
The song goes on to describe how the shower's stream is so weak that it is reminiscent of being peed on. The tone is lighthearted and entertaining, presented with a humorous edge that makes it fun to listen to. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has experienced a shower that doesn't meet their requirements or found themselves trying to wash while running out of time or water.
