Hello Destiny... by Goldfinger

Hello Destiny..., Goldfinger's sixth album, arrived on April 22, 2008, their only release on SideOneDummy Records. Frontman John Feldmann, the one member who has been there throughout, produced it himself, and it brought guitarist Charlie Paulson back into the fold alongside bassist Kelly LeMieux and drummer Darrin Pfeiffer.

By now the Los Angeles band had shed most of the third-wave ska of their early records, and this is straight punk rock, fast and tight and hooky, with Feldmann's voice cutting through the noise. "One More Time" is the pick. It was also the end of an era: it was the last record with Paulson until he came back in 2019, and the last with LeMieux and Pfeiffer, and Goldfinger wouldn't release another album until The Knife in 2017.
