BREAKING: Pop-punk band Goldfinger has just announced a thrilling update to their iconic song “Superman,” featuring legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk and alternative hip-hop artist Bryce Vine. This new version blends rap with the classic alternative rock sound, marking a significant moment for fans of both the band and the skateboarding community.
The revamped track is not just a nostalgic trip for early-2000s kids; it also highlights Hawk’s unexpected foray into vocals. The original “Superman” was famously featured in Hawk’s groundbreaking video game series, “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater.” In a recent statement, Vine expressed his excitement, stating, “The soundtrack was like a secret mixtape that shaped a whole generation of musicians—I was one of them.”
Hawk, who is now 57 years old, is renowned not only for his impressive 10 X Games gold medals but also as a cultural icon in the skateboarding world. He has appeared in numerous films and television shows, further solidifying his legacy. “I can’t wait for everyone to hear our version of the Goldfinger song ‘Superman’ featuring Tony Hawk,” said John Feldmann, Goldfinger’s frontman, underscoring the collaboration’s excitement.
This collaboration is particularly intriguing as Hawk has previously performed “Superman” live with Goldfinger but is not primarily known as a singer. His only other musical release was a two-song EP titled “In the City” with Punk Rock Karaoke in 2022. Meanwhile, Vine, at 37, has made a name for himself through hits like “Drew Barrymore” and “La La Land,” showcasing his versatile style that bridges alternative hip-hop, rock, and R&B.
Goldfinger’s original version of “Superman” remains a staple in pop-punk culture, having amassed over 100 million streams on Spotify. The band, known for their energetic sound and memorable tracks, also gained fame for their cover of “99 Red Balloons,” which has seen similar streaming success. Their music has been featured in classic films like “Eurotrip” and “Not Another Teen Movie,” further embedding their legacy in pop culture.
As fans eagerly await the release, this collaboration between Goldfinger, Hawk, and Vine represents a full-circle moment in music history. The new version of “Superman” is expected to resonate with both longtime fans and a new generation, blending nostalgia with fresh talent.
Stay tuned for the official release of “Superman” by Bryce Vine, Tony Hawk, and Goldfinger. This exciting collaboration promises to be a standout track to listen to in 2023.
