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 ↴
You don't know how you'll ever make it through
It hurts so bad but it's all you got
You're asking me for help
But all I got to say now is that
You don't know what pain is
You haven't suffered one iota
So just stop your whining
Stop complaining point your finger
I'll tell you who to blame
So pack your bags
We're going out
I want to show you
Just what's in this world
Cause in the end its all you got
Memories to tell about your life
And how you lived it
So live it good
I know it's all that you've given
You don't know what pain is
You haven't suffered one iota
So just stop your whining
You don't know what pain is
Stop complaining
Point your finger
I'll tell you who to blame
The lyrics of Goldfinger's song "Question" talk about someone who is struggling with their life and looking for guidance. The singer tells them that they have no idea what real pain is like, implying that they haven't experienced enough hardship to fully understand the gravity of their situation. They encourage the person to stop complaining and take responsibility for their own life. The singer then takes the person on a journey, wanting to show them all that the world has to offer. They stress the importance of creating good memories and living life to the fullest. The song ultimately conveys a message of self-reliance and optimism.
