ribbon apply welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’ll be taking a look at the
history of no doubt rock band no doubt
formed in Anaheim California in 1986
after founding member and lead vocalist
John Spence committed suicide the
following year personnel came and went
until the group consisted of singer Gwen
Stefani her brother keyboardist Eric
guitarist Tom Dumont bassist Tony Kanal
and drummer Adrian young by the time the
lineup was solidified no doubt had a
cult following on the callee concert
scene thanks to energetic performances
and Gwen Stefani’s charisma in 1991 they
were rewarded with a record deal and
their first offering was a self-titled
album the next year
however the upbeat commercial sound of
no doubt failed to resonate and a market
where grunge was at its peak and the
effort bomb Eric Stefani soon left the
band to work as an animator on The
Simpsons so Gwen took over writing
duties in 1995 no doubt independently
released the less refined record The
Beacon Street collection that album
tripled the sales of its predecessor and
gave the band much-needed momentum
later that year no doubt dropped tragic
kingdom’ thematically the album focused
on the breakup of the seven-year romance
between Gwen Stefani and Tony Kanal
sonically it found its place in a world
where crunch was dying and ska was
gaining steam
it was the efforts debut single that
broke them into the mainstream the video
that accompanied just a girl established
a fawni’s trademark look of red lipstick
platinum blonde hair and midriff-baring
tops and immediately turned her into a
style icon
the band then released a string of hit
tracks from the album including The
Ballad don’t speak that song and the
record itself earned no doubt two Grammy
nominations tragic kingdom’ was
eventually certified diamond after their
world tour the group set to work on
their next release
Stefani also pursued opportunities
outside the band and like many front
women before her she began earning
significantly more media attention than
her bandmates which caused internal
tension her high-profile romance with
Bush vocalist Gavin Rossdale also kept
her in the news during no doubt slow
2000s return of Saturn was a natural
progression for the band which featured
more alternative rock vibes mature
lyrics and darker themes
it started its run on the Billboard 200
at number two and earned the band
another Grammy nod for Best Rock Album
but did not do as well commercially as
tragic kingdom’ suddenly Stefani was an
in-demand vocalist so she lent her
skills to tracks like mobis southside
and eve’s Grammy winning let me blow
your mind
this allowed Stefani and no doubt to
delve into new musical styles like dance
and synth pop the result of this
experimentation was 2001’s Rocksteady
inspired by Jamaican dancehall music the
album revitalized no doubts career with
two Grammy winning singles
the band then compiled their hits on
2003 the singles 1992 to 2003 and
included the new cover song it’s my life
some video anthologies also hit stores
and the band toured with blink-182
however by 2004 no doubt was out of
juice and they went on hiatus band
members then pursued outside projects
for example canal collaborated with pink
on her successful album fun house while
Stefani cultivated a hugely successful
solo career that resulted in clothing
and perfume lines two massive albums and
a string of hits
she also started an acting career with
an appearance in the 2004 film The
Aviator and gave birth to two children
with her husband Rossdale eventually it
was time for the band to regroup and in
2009 they embarked on a reunion tour
however it was another three years
before they released new music in 2012
they’re familiar ska and dance infused
rock was back on airwaves with settled
down the debut single off their first
new album in 11 years push and shove
after influencing an entire genre of
music with their raucous rock no doubt
is still at the top of their game their
diehard fans are happy to have them back
on the radar because there’s no doubt
this band knows how to do it hella good
