Goldfinger came out of Los Angeles in 1994, right as ska was coming back for another round, and they rode the third wave with a grin on their faces. Singer and guitarist John Feldmann is the one member who's been there through all of it, with Charlie Paulson on guitar, Simon Williams and later Kelly LeMieux on bass, and Darrin Pfeiffer on drums.

"Here in Your Bedroom", from the 1995 Richter EP, is the one everybody knows: skanking verses, a chorus that bounces off the walls and Feldmann yelping like he's had too much coffee. The self-titled 1996 album also brought "Mable", and Hang-Ups, in 1997, and Stomping Ground, in 2000, kept the ska coming, with "This Lonely Place", "99 Red Balloons" and "Counting the Days".

Open Your Eyes, in 2002, and Disconnection Notice, in 2005, shed most of the ska for straight-ahead pop-punk, with the title track, "Wasted" and "Stalker", and Hello Destiny... followed in 2008. The band has always been loud about more than music, too, known for backing animal rights. They've kept at it since with The Knife in 2017, around the time Travis Barker had a brief stint on drums, Never Look Back in 2020 and Nine Lives in 2026.
