They were founded in California by John Feldmann on vocals and guitar, Simon Williams on bass, "Dangerous" Darrin Pfeiffer on drums, and Charlie Paulson on guitar.

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.

This Lonely Place
Goldfinger Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You come around
To see your boyfriend
You come around
To feel the pain
It was yesterday he tried to use you
But you still go through it

Again you took it away

Again you let yourself stay

I've been around
This lonely place
Lonely place before

You find out
He's been lying to you
You find he had another girl
Still you never
Stand up for yourself
You never stand up to him

He takes it away
Again you let yourself stay
Again you gave it to him
You said it's the last time
He does it again

I've been around
This lonely place
Lonely place before
You got a choice
To leave your place
Your lonely place behind
Be true to yourself

Now and let it go
It's better than you think

Line by Line Meaning

You come around
You visit your boyfriend

To see your boyfriend
To spend time with him

You come around
You come back despite the pain

To feel the pain
To accept the pain he causes you

It was yesterday he tried to use you
He tried manipulating you yesterday

But you still go through it
But you persevere despite it

Again you took it away
You let him take advantage of you again

Again you let yourself stay
You stay with him despite your misgivings

I've been around
I, Goldfinger, have experienced

This lonely place
This feeling of isolation and misery

Lonely place before
Many times before this
