No Doubt

No Doubt is an American ska punk band formed in Anaheim, California in 1986 by lead singer and then backing vocalist Gwen Stefani, Gwen's older brother and former keyboardist Eric Stefani, former lead singer John Spence, guitarist Jerry McMahon, bassist Chris Leal, trumpet players Gabriel Gonzalez and Alan Meade, drummer Chris Webb and saxophonist Tony Meade. The band's lineup changed has changed throughout the years, with Gwen Stefani being the band's only remaining original member. Following two independent releases, the band signed to Interscope Records and released their diamond selling album Tragic Kingdom, which has since become one of the best selling punk rock albums of all-time. Despite the album's success, the band would not release another album until 2000's Return Of Saturn, which while still going platinum, failed to reach the same level of success as it's processor. The band's next album Rock Steady departed from the band's ska punk sound, instead featuring a new wave sound. The album went 2x platinum. Following it's release the band went on hiatus as Stefani focused on a hip hop solo career. The band later returned with the 2012 album Push And Shove.
