About No Doubt
When a group plays an industry show (where the label execs attend)
a recording contract is usually forthcoming. No Doubt's first crack at
the big time came just before Christmas in '87 at the Roxy in
Hollywood. But earlier that year, lead singer John Spence had shot
himself in an Anaheim park. Gwen Stefani made the move from backing to
lead vocals, but the group, still trying to recover, didn't do so
well. They decided to break up. But a couple of days later, they
reversed their decision.
No Doubt - Gwen and brother Eric, Tony Kanal (bass), Adrian Young
(drums) and Tom Dumont (guitar) - opened for the Red Hot Chili Peppers
and Ziggy Marley, among others. They were signed by Interscope Records
where they were expected to rule. However, the early '90s were driven
by Grunge and No Doubt literally couldn't get radio play. It got so
bad that the music director at their hometown radio station (KROQ/Orange
County) said it would take an act of God to get them on the air.
'93 saw work begin on "Tragic Kingdom" but this project went in fits
and starts without taking hold. Then Eric Stefani bailed in '94. He
decided to stick with his day job as an animator for "The Simpsons" TV
show. Smart decision? '95 was the year it all finally connected.
First, No Doubt released the "Beacon Street Collection," ten tracks
ranging from finished songs to demos. Then they played the main stage
on the first Warped Tour.
Finally, with "Tragic Kingdom" released in October of '95, No Doubt's
Ska-New Wave-Punk-Rock sound found an audience. A huge audience. The
ballad "Don't Speak" broke the ice but it was the Rockers "Just A
Girl" and "Spiderwebs" that made a lasting impression. The CD sold
more than fifteen million copies. Talk about dues paying off. The next
few years were a blur of tours, award shows, personal appearances,
one-off projects (Stefani recording "You're The Boss" with the Brian
Setzer Orchestra) and magazine covers/stories (featuring Gwen). Well,
all that was bound to take a toll, so the group took a break.

Recording "Tragic Kingdom" had been a two-year process. There was
no indication the follow-up, started in early '99, would be any
different. A CD-and-a-half worth of material was recorded, then
discarded. No Doubt entered the studio again with seasoned pro Glen
Ballard producing. "Ex-Girlfriend" led off April '00 release "Return
To Saturn," as both the first track and first single. "Bathwater" and
"Simple Kind of Life" were also hot Rockers. But despite strong songs
and performances "Return To Saturn" suffered from a critical backlash
due to "Tragic Kingdom's" mega success.
The dance, Hip Hop and Reggae derived "Rock Steady" hit the shelves in
'01. "Singles: 1992-2003" covered the expected turf and added a cover
of Talk Talk's "It's My Life." "Boom Box" contained the singles,
remixes, b-sides and unreleased material. There was also a disc of the
group's videos.
Sometimes a group's most popular work is also their best. "Tragic
Kingdom," a CD that was years in the making, burst through the
post-Grunge Rock world. But the album is also the best and most
focused effort the group has produced. "Return of Saturn" is a solid
follow-up that keeps "Tragic Kingdom's" audience happy. Both No
Doubt's self-titled debut and "Beacon Street Collection" are strictly
for fans. The former is a tentative beginning while the latter serves
as a catchall for unreleased material.
Like most musical genres Reggae is easy to approximate but difficult
to nail. What makes No Doubt interesting is their ability to
incorporate Reggae, Ska and other influences into Rock. On "Rock
Steady," employing numerous "name" producers, that concept is
abandoned. The CD opens with "Hella Good," a song that could easily
pass for an '80s Madonna dance track. If you're wondering what the
latter day Cars would have sounded like with a female vocalist, there
are two tracks co-produced (along with No Doubt) by the Cars' front
man, Ric Ocasek. "Platinum Blonde Life" and "Don't Let Me Down"
constitute the CD's high points.
