GOLDFINGER DROPS NINE LIVES, A NEW ALBUM FROM ONE OF SKA-PUNK’S MOST ENDURING BANDS

HITTING THE ROAD THIS WINTER IN SUPPORT OF NINE LIVES

Today, Los Angeles-based ska-punk band Goldfinger releases their new full-length album NINE LIVES via Big Noise Music Group, distributed through Virgin Music. The album marks a significant moment in the band’s career, reaffirming their place within the genre while demonstrating an ongoing commitment to writing, recording and releasing new material more than two decades after their debut. 

Led by frontman and producer John Feldmann, NINE LIVES captures Goldfinger at their most focused and energized. The album expands on the momentum of the recent single, “Chasing Amy”, delivering tightly written, high-impact songs driven by buzzing guitars, sharp hooks, and the band’s unmistakable ska-punk foundation. The record addresses longevity and the process of continuing forward after decades as a working band. 

NINE LIVES also features a range of guest collaborators that reflect Goldfinger’s long standing role within ska-punk and alternative music, reflecting their continued relevance across newer generations of artists. Appearances include Mark Hoppus (blink-182), Jim Lindberg (Pennywise), Spencer Charnas (Ice Nine Kills), iann dior, Zac Carper (FIDLAR), and El Hefe (NOFX). Together, the collaboration reinforces NINE LIVES as a record rooted in history while remaining engaged with the band’s ability to connect across eras and subgeneres while maintaining a cohesive sound. 

NINE LIVES was developed through a self-directed approach, reflecting the core elements that have defined Goldfinger’s career for over two decades of direct songwriting, strong hooks, and a focus on momentum and melody. Produced by longtime frontman John Feldmann, the album draws from the band’s established sound while incorporating a modern production perspective honed through constant creative progression. NINE LIVES underscores Goldfinger’s continued output and commitment to creating new material without relying on legacy alone. 

Following a resurgence of attention and renewed creative momentum, Goldfinger continues to solidify their legacy as one of the genre’s most enduring acts.

ABOUT GOLDFINGER:

Goldfinger is an LA-based band who helped ignite the U.S ska-punk explosion of the mid-to-late ‘90s alongside Rancid, No Doubt, Sublime, and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Formed in 1993 by guitarist and vocalist John Feldmann, bassist Simon Williams, drummer Darrin Pfeiffer, and later joined by guitarist Charlie Paulson, the band broke out when their single “Here in Your Bedroom” hit heavy rotation on KROQ, catapulting them into worldwide tours and punk notoriety. Known for their chaotic live shows, wild antics, and relentless touring, including a Guinness World Record for performing 385 shows in a single year – Goldfinger quickly became punk legends. 

Today, Goldfinger continues to carry the torch for ska-punk with a refreshed and powerhouse lineup featuring John Feldmann (producer/lead vocalist), Charlie Paulson (guitar), Mike Herrera (bass), Nick Gross (drums), and Moon Valjean (guitar). Together, they deliver the same explosive energy and anthemic hooks that defined their early years, now evolved with the precision and passion of veteran musicians. 

With their latest single release under Big Noise Music Group distributed through Virgin Music, Goldfinger proves that their rebellious spirit and infectious sound remain as sharp, urgent, and unshakably fun as ever.
