No Doubt
Jul 23, 2012
With the return of the punks in the mid-'90s came a resurgence of their slightly more commercial rivals, new wave bands. No Doubt found a niche as a new wave/ska band, on the strength of vocalist Gwen Stefani's persona - alternately an embrace of little-girl-lost innocence and riot grrrl feminism - exemplified on the band's breakout single, "Just a Girl."
The band released a compilation album on November 2nd called Icon, in preparation for their upcoming comeback album. Icon will feature the same track listing as their previous compilation album The Singles 1992-2003 albeit with new artwork and a low price point.
On June 11th, the band announced on their official website that the new album will be out on September 25th, preceded by the first single on July 16th. The new album will be titled Push and Shove and its first single will be "Settle Down". Their first music video for the new album will also be for "Settle Down" and it will be directed by Sophie Muller (who previously has done numerous music videos for No Doubt).
