About

No Doubt is an American rock band formed in Anaheim, California, in 1986. For most of its career, the band has consisted of vocalist and founding member Gwen Stefani, guitarist Tom Dumont, bassist Tony Kanal and drummer Adrian Young. Keyboardist Eric Stefani, Gwen's brother, was also a founding member but quit in 1994. From the mid-1990s, trombonist Gabrial McNair and trumpeter Stephen Bradley have performed with the band as session and touring musicians.

The band's 1992 eponymous debut album failed to make an impact. Its ska punk–inspired follow-up, The Beacon Street Collection, sold over 100,000 copies in 1995, more than triple the sales of its predecessor. Their third album, Tragic Kingdom, was released later the same year and benefited from the 1990s resurgence of third-wave ska, going on to achieve diamond certification. "Don't Speak", the third single from the album, set a record when it spent 16 weeks at the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart, while "Just a Girl", co-written by Stefani, was described as "the most popular cut on the CD".

The band's next album, Return of Saturn (2000), did not match the success of their previous album, despite its Top 40 hit single "Simple Kind of Life". However, the album received critical praise and was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 43rd Grammy Awards. The following year, the band returned with the album Rock Steady (2001), which incorporated reggae and dancehall music. The album was primarily recorded in Jamaica and featured collaborations with Jamaican artists Bounty Killer, Sly and Robbie and Lady Saw. The album produced two Grammy-winning singles, "Hey Baby" and "Underneath It All"; "Hella Good" was also nominated for a Grammy award.

After a 2004 tour, the band members pursued solo projects, with Stefani releasing two successful solo albums, Love. Angel. Music. Baby. (2004) and The Sweet Escape (2006), while Tom Dumont released his own solo music project, Invincible Overlord. In 2008, the band resumed working slowly on their sixth and latest effort, titled Push and Shove (2012), and released its lead single "Settle Down". The band has sold over 33 million records worldwide.

The band announced it will reunite in 2026 for a twelve-show residency in Las Vegas.

No Doubt est un groupe de pop punk américain, originaire d'Anaheim, en Californie. Depuis 1994, le groupe comprend la chanteuse Gwen Stefani, le bassiste et claviériste Tony Kanal, le guitariste et claviériste Tom Dumont, et le batteur Adrian Young. Depuis le milieu des années 1990, lors des performances scéniques et en studio, le groupe joue aux côtés du claviériste et tromboniste Gabrial McNair et du claviériste et trompettiste Stephen Bradley.

Le style ska de leur chanson Trapped in a Box (1992), incluse dans leur premier album, No Doubt (1992), n'atteint pas le succès escompté. Leur deuxième album The Beacon Street Collection (1993) est caractérisé par un son ska punk et publié indépendamment sous leur propre label. Il compte plus de 100 000 exemplaires vendus en 1995. L'album Tragic Kingdom (1995), certifié disque de platine, aidera à lancer le revirement de la troisième vague du ska des années 1990, et Don't Speak, le troisième single de l'album, passe plus de 16 semaines au classement Billboard Hot 100 Airplay.

L'album Return of Saturn (2000), malgré son single à succès Simple Kind of Life, n'atteint pas le succès escompté, mais réussit à recevoir le prix du meilleur album rock à la 43e édition des Grammy Awards. Après leur tournée en 2004, les membres se consacrent à leur carrière solo ; en particulier Stefani avec deux albums solo à succès, Love. Angel. Music. Baby. (2004) et The Sweet Escape (2006), et Tom Dumont avec l'album Invincible Overlord. Le groupe se réunit en 2009.
