Goldfinger is back with Freaking Out a Bit, a new single featuring guest vocals from Mark Hoppus and drums by Travis Barker of Blink-182. Released digitally via Big Noise, the track is a hook-heavy blast of pop-punk anxiety—equal parts nostalgic and wired for now.
Frontman John Feldmann co-wrote the song with Hoppus and Barker, who each brought more than just star power. Hoppus shaped the verses, Barker reworked the bridge groove, and Feldmann tied it together with a chorus that hits right in the gut. It’s a rare kind of collaboration that sounds as fun as it probably was to make.
Musically, the track fuses Goldfinger’s ska-punk roots with their polished pop-punk evolution. Lyrically, it taps into the fraying nerves of modern life—burnout, overstimulation, and the chaos of trying to keep it together. The result is a song that feels both totally familiar and right on time.
Goldfinger’s legacy stretches back to the mid-’90s, with hits like “Here in Your Bedroom” and “Superman.” Freaking Out a Bit shows they’re still pushing forward—still loud, still catchy, and still connected to the heart of the scene.
