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 ↴
'Cause I could show you loveable and sit another hour with you.
Sympathy, I need a little sympathy.
You ask me what I wanna be, I wanna little time with you.
If I could just see you again, I'd show you who I am.
If I could be with you again, I'd show you what, I'd show you what is
Uncomfortable, I wish I was comfortable,
'Cause I could show you loveable and sit another hour with you.
Apathy, I wish that wasn't half of me.
I hope it's not the end of me, just wish I'd never made it come true.
If I could just see you again, I'd show you who I am.
If I could be with you again, I'd show you what, I'd show you what is
Uncomfortable, I wish I was comfortable,
'Cause I could show you loveable and sit another hour with you. (I could show you)
And sit another hour with you. (I could show you)
And sit another hour with you. (I could show you)
And sit another hour with you. (I could show you)
And sit another hour with...
The lyrics of Goldfinger's "Uncomfortable" speak to the feeling of being out of place and wanting to be able to show someone your best self, but feeling hindered by discomfort and apathy. The first verse evokes a desire to be comfortable in order to show the object of the singer's affection their best self and spend more time with them. The second verse expresses a need for sympathy, and a wish to spend time with the person they care about, but feeling unsure of themselves and wishing they had never made certain choices.
The chorus repeats the theme of discomfort, with the singer wishing they were comfortable so they could be more loveable and spend more time with the person they care about. The song's title underscores this theme and emphasizes the uneasiness the singer is experiencing. The repetition of "if I could just see you again" and "if I could be with you again" speaks to a loss or separation the singer has experienced, with the lyrics hinting at regret over past actions that may have contributed to this.
Overall, Goldfinger's "Uncomfortable" captures the feeling of wanting to be better, to connect with someone, and to break free from the constraints of discomfort and apathy. The song is a reflection on the struggle to overcome one's own self-doubt in order to show love and be loved.
