Stomping Ground by Goldfinger
Stomping Ground is an album by Goldfinger, released in 2000. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 7 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “99 Red Balloons”, on 5 lists with a best position of #4.
Stomping Ground, Goldfinger's third studio album, came out on Mojo Records on March 28, 2000, and it's the last of the Los Angeles band's ska-era records before they shed the skank for straight pop-punk. John Feldmann sings, plays guitar and co-produced with Tim Palmer, who also mixed it, and he's backed by Charlie Paulson on guitar, Kelly LeMieux on bass and Darrin Pfeiffer on drums.
It's a fast, bouncy, sugar-rush record, snotty and good-natured at once. "99 Red Balloons" gave rock radio something to jump around to, "Counting the Days" followed, and "The End of the Day" slips in a quick sample of a Dead Kennedys song for anyone keeping score on punk credentials.
