## History

No Doubt formed in 1986 in Anaheim, California, but with the name "Apple Core", and with members Gwen Stefani, her brother Eric Stefani, and their friend John Spence. They played several concerts under that name. During one of the concerts, Tony Kanal was there. He was impressed with the band, and became their bassist. He later began dating Gwen (which lasted for seven years.)

However, Spence committed suicide in December 1987. The rest of the band was shocked, and broke up, but reformed a few weeks later because they thought that's what Spence would have wanted. They soon got Tom Dumont as a new guitarist. He was formerly in a band called Rising with his sister. One year later, the band hired Adrian Young as a drummer. When he joined, he said he had been playing the drums for five years, even though he had only been playing for two months.

The band released their first album, _No Doubt_, in 1992. One single was released from it, "Trapped in a Box".

In 1995 they released their second album, _The Beacon Street Collection_. It got better reviews than _No Doubt_ and two singles were released from it.

On October 10, 1995 _Tragic Kingdom_ was released. It was their first album to chart, and it was very successful. It has sold over sixteen million copies.

On April 11, 2000 _Return of Saturn_ was released on Interscope. Four singles were released from it.

The band's fifth album _Rock Steady_ was released December 11, 2001.

On 25 November 2003 _The Singles 1992-2003_ was released. No Doubt made a new song for it, a cover of "It's My Life" by Talk Talk. It was nominated for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal at the 2005 Grammy Awards.

_Everything in Time (B-sides, Rarities, Remixes)_ was released October 12 2004.

Between 2004 and 2008 the band's members did things separate from the band. Singer Gwen Stefani released a solo album, _Love. Angel. Music. Baby_.

In 2012 the band released their first studio album in over ten years, _Push and Shove_. Two singles were released from the album, "Settle Down" and "Looking Hot".
