Formed in 1994, the band signed to Mojo Records/Universal Records and released their first three studio albums, with one album from each song (Here In Your Bedroom, Superman, 99 Red Balloons) earning the band radio and Billboard success, with “Superman” garnering popularity from the game Tony Hawk Pro Skater. Initially a ska-punk band, in the mid-2000s they drifted away from the sound in favor of a more pop-punk driven sound, but returned to ska in the late-2000s.

Goldfinger currently consists of John Feldmann (vocals, guitar, production), Charlie Paulson (guitar), Mike Herrera (bass, vocals), Philip “Moon Valjean” Sneed (guitar, vocals), and Nick Gross (drums).
