Goldfinger, one of the architects of the U.S. ska-punk explosion of the mid-to-late nineties, have released their new studio album ‘Nine Lives’ via Big Noise Music Group, distributed through Virgin Music. The record finds the band leaning into the sound that made them icons while pushing forward with sharp songwriting and the signature mix of punk urgency and ska-infused hooks that has defined their career since John Feldmann, Simon Williams, Darrin Pfeiffer, and Charlie Paulson formed the band in 1993. Their breakthrough single “Here in Your Bedroom” hit heavy rotation on KROQ and launched them into worldwide tours and punk notoriety alongside Rancid, No Doubt, Sublime, and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
Today, Goldfinger carries that torch with a powerhouse lineup featuring Feldmann on lead vocals and production, Charlie Paulson on guitar, Mike Herrera on bass, Nick Gross on drums, and Moon Valjean on guitar. ‘Nine Lives’ marks a bold new chapter, the band still evolving while staying true to the roots that earned them a Guinness World Record for performing 385 shows in a single year and a fanbase that spans generations. With hundreds of millions of global streams and a dedicated following across platforms, their influence on ska-punk’s ongoing resurgence remains as sharp and unshakably fun as ever.
