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 ↴
Does that mean I have to change
'Cause change does scare me
I'd like to know how I would feel
And if you'll have me
I won't leave or make you hurt
'Cause I need you
Stay
For today
You'll let me stay
For today
So when I see you
Please understand the way I think
Your smile it heals me
I never want to go away
Believe I love you
No matter how selfish I get
I know you'll help me
The way I feel I won't forget
You'll let me stay
You'll let me stay
For today
I feel cold sometimes
I turn my faith to fear
I seem so lost sometimes
Can you find it?
Can you find it?
And if I'm sorry
Does that mean I have to change
'Cause change does scare me
I'd like to know how I would feel
And if you'll have me
I won't leave or make you hurt
'Cause I need you
And I hope you'll let me
Stay
For today
You'll let me stay
For today
You'll let me stay
For today
You'll let me stay
For today

The song starts with the singer apologizing for their actions that might have caused pain to the lover. They fear change but also know that change might be necessary at times.

The lyrics in the second part of the song highlight the struggles of the singer, who feels lost and looks up to their lover for solace and guidance.
