The Knife is the seventh studio album by American ska punk band Goldfinger, released on July 21, 2017, through Rise Records. It marks the band's first album following a nine-year non-album gap, their longest ever. It is their first release featuring their new supergroup line-up consisting of guitarist/vocalist and founding member John Feldmann, lead guitarist Philip Sneed ( Story of the Year), bassist Mike Herrera ( MxPx, Mike Herrera's Tumbledown) and drummer Travis Barker ( Blink-182). There are also several notable musicians who make guest appearances on the album. [7] [8] [9] The album received critical acclaim.
In the November/December 2010 issue No. 43 of SMASH magazine, Feldmann stated that a new EP or a possible full-length album was "in the works" with Feldmann having penned 4/5 new tracks, and Pfeiffer having recorded the drum tracks. Feldmann also states in the article that with the release of any new material would be supported with an extended tour. [10] According to Feldmann, Goldfinger was expecting to have their new album out sometime in 2012. [11] The band released a new song, "Am I Deaf", on Friday May 24, 2013. Four years later, Put the Knife Away was released. [12]
In 2015, Feldmann did an interview with Fuse, noting that the band's future largely amounts to the occasional tour: "We'll probably release a song or two but I don't know if we're going to release albums anymore. We play the same songs we've always done." [13]
Am I Deaf was originally recorded in 2013 with Charlie Paulson, Kelly LeMieux, and Darrin Pfeiffer but has since been re-recorded for the album featuring Sneed, Herrera and Barker.
