Artist of the Week: No Doubt
Here's the deal, as most of you know, I'm a huge fan of RockBand. So when I heard about the rumored set list for the new RockBand 2, I was stoked to see this week's artist on the list. For those of you who don't know this band, here's a little crash course. The Band was formed in 1986 with John Spence, Eric & Gwen Stefani. After doing small shows in the Orange County area, bassist Tony Kanal joined the band and soon started dating Gwen but in secret. In late 1987 Spence committed suicide and the band was temporally disbanded. They got back together a couple of months later and Gwen eventually took over vocals. In 1988, guitarist Tom Dumont joined the band, follow by drummer Adrian Young in 1989. The following year, thanks to it's local popularity, the band signed a multi-album deal with Interscope Records. In 1992 they released they're self-titled album which only sold around 30,000 copies. While working on the next album, not happy with the way the studio was running things, Eric Stefani left the band. Soon after that, Tony would end his seven-year relationship with Gwen. In 1995, the band released the album The Beacon Street Collection, on their own label, which mostly include outtakes from other recordings. That same year they would release one of the highest selling albums in history with the album Tragic Kingdom The album centered mostly around the break-up between Tony and Gwen. Thanks to singles like "Just a Girl", "Don't Speak", "Spiderwebs" and "Sunday Morning", the album would go on to be certified diamond and sell over 16 million copies worldwide. They band followed up that album in 2000 with Return to Saturn. Although the album critically acclaimed, and enjoyed some commercially successful, singles like "Ex-Girlfriend" and "Simple Kind of Life" failed to reach the top 100 charts. The Following year, the band released Rock Steady which scored two hit Grammy-winning singles, "Hey Baby" and "Underneath It All". Later on they released the single "Running". After they released the album The Singles 1992-2003 and touring with Blink 182, the band announced that they would be taking a hiatus.
