After 10 years and more than 2,000 shows, Goldfinger has released a compilation of its favorite songs in "The Best of Goldfinger." The ska/punk act from Los Angeles has produced six albums, but is more well known for their rockin' shows they've played across the world. Inside the album cover, lead singer/guitarist John Feldmann confesses that he believes the only reason the band is still having success making music is "our live show" because he said the fans keep coming out to see them. There are no surprises on this record, as Goldfinger fans get everything they could've asked for in 17 songs - from "Here in your Bedroom" to "Open Your Eyes," as well as "Mable" and "Superman." Feldmann, guitarist Charlie Paulson, bassist/backup vocalist Kelly LeMieux and drummer Darrin Pfeiffer aren't done making music, but the "Best of" is a great look at what this band has done over the last decade. The best suggestion for listening to this album is to read the inside cover before diving into the songs, being careful to read each blurb that Feldmann wrote about each of the first 14 songs.
