No Doubt (band)

No Doubt is a rock band from Anahaeim, Calafornia, United States, founded in 1986. Their eponymous debut album, No Doubt, released on March 17, 1992, failed to make an impact because of its ska sound, as grunge music was very popular at the time. Their second album, The Beacon Street Collection, was not mainstream; it was released independently at first, in March, 1995. It was re-released in October, 1997. Their third album, Tragic Kingdom, released in October, 1995, was diamond-certified and helped to launch the ska revival of the 1990s. 'Don't Speak', the third single released from the album, set a record when it spent sixteen weeks at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart, later broken by the Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris".

The group released its next album, Return of Saturn, in April, 2000, but despite positive reviews, it was considered a commercial failure. In December, 2001, the band released its fifth album, "Rock Steady", in which they added reggae and dancehall to their music. The album was primarily recorded in Jamaica and featured collaborations with Jamaican artists Bounty Killer, Sly and Robbie, and Lady Saw. The album spawned two Grammy-winning singles, "Hey Baby" and "Underneath It All".

In 2003, the band released the compilation, The Singles 1992-2003, and the box set, Boom Box, both of which contain a cover of the Talk Talk synthpop song, "It's My Life". Frontwoman Gwen Stefani launched her solo career the next year with several collaborations, including bandmate Tony Kanal and Neptune Pharrell, while guitarist Tom Dumont began his side project, Invincible Overlord. During its career, the band has won two Grammy Awards and sold 27 million records worldwide to date.
