Goldfinger is a Los Angeles-based ska-punk/pop-punk band formed in 1994, known for energetic music and anthemic hooks, fronted by constant member John Feldmann, with breakthrough hits like "Here in Your Bedroom" and "Superman," becoming key figures in the '90s ska-punk scene before evolving their sound, known for intense live shows and a lineup featuring Feldmann, Charlie Paulson, Darrin Pfeiffer, and Simon Williams in their classic era, with Feldmann still leading the band today. The current lineup features John Feldmann (producer/lead vocalist), Charlie Paulson (guitar/Black President), Mike Herrera (bass/MXPX), Nick Gross (drums/girlfriends), and Moon Valjean (guitar/Greek Fire). In their early years, the band was considered a contributor to the movement of third-wave ska, a mid-1990s revitalization in the popularity of ska, evidenced in their first three albums: Goldfinger (1996), Hang-Ups (1997) and Stomping Ground (2000). However, the releases of Open Your Eyes (2002) and Disconnection Notice (2005) saw the band shed most of the ska influence, and they have been more commonly placed in the pop-punk genre in later years. They have since released three more albums: Hello Destiny... (2008), The Knife (2017) and Never Look Back (2020) with their latest album "Nine Lives" coming January 2026.
