No Doubt
Old school residents of Southern California’s ska scene, No Doubt burst onto the scene in the early 90s with their breakthrough single, “Just a Girl.” Since then, Gwen Stefani has amassed her own solo following derived from her pop star ambitions and riot girl feminism. After a brief hiatus, the band regrouped in the mid-2000s to fulfill a massive tour and produce their most recent record, Push and Shove.
