This past summer, California ska-punk veterans, Goldfinger released it’s first LP in nearly 10 years, The Knife. Off the legendary band’s album is their energetic track “Tijuana Sunrise.”
Paying homage to lead singer, Jon Feldmann’s younger days, the energetic track with Feldmann’s distinct vocals showcases a younger version of Feldmann on a beach with a bottle in hand featuring drunken memories but ultimately ends with Feldman gathering on the beach singing by a fire pit surrounded by bandmates, family, and friends.
“I was a messed up, disillusioned kid living in San Diego. I was underage and unable to obtain a fake ID, so like many kids with a similar fate, I drank across the border down in Mexico. My life back then was so dark,” says Feldmann of his younger days. “My life now is so different. I wanted to show the juxtaposition of my life back then, risking it all, to my life today with my family, my career, my friends and my hobbies.”

Goldfinger continues to build on a highly regarded legacy, where they have been considered one of the forerunners and most well-known bands of the third-wave ska/punk movement of the late 90s. Their 1996 self-titled debut Goldfinger went gold, and was named one of “The Ten Albums That Defined 1996” by Alternative Press in 2006. AllMusic said “no one had more success with this new sound than Goldfinger on their self-titled debut”, calling it “irresistibly catchy, creative, and hopelessly endearing.” 1997’s Hang-Ups reached #85 on the Billboard 200, and the single “Superman” was prominently featured on the soundtrack for the generation-defining Tony Hawk Pro Skater video game. Over 6 full-length albums and over a decade of touring, Goldfinger amassed an international fan base drawn to the band’s penchant for big choruses, attitude, and creativity of seamlessly fusing punk rock, ska, skate punk, and various other genres throughout their discography.
