Goldfinger's Debut Album Turns 20: John Feldmann Reflects
Before John Feldmann became the powerhouse pop-punk producer we know him to be now, working with everyone from Good Charlotte and The Used to All Time Low and 5 Seconds of Summer, he was fronting the iconic Goldfinger. The band experimented with punk rock and ska sounds while maintaining a strict pop sensibility—the very mentality that make everything Feldy touches turn to gold.
Goldfinger's self-titled debut turns 20 on Saturday, Feb. 27, so we had to give the guy a ring and ask him to reflect. Here's the surprising story behind the album, the tale of "Here In Your Bedroom," how Feldmann discovered Reel Big Fish and...some stuff about The Lion King. Seriously.
