(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
No Doubt is an American alternative rock group whose music is heavily ska and new wave influenced.The group first formed in December 1986 with John Spence as lead singer. He committed suicide in 1988, leaving Gwen Stefani lead vocalist. The band developed a reasonable live following, but it was not until the release of 1995's Tragic Kingdom and the single Just a Girl that the group achieved mainstream commercial success. The second single, Don't Speak, written about the dissolution of Gwen and Tony Kanal's romantic relationship, was also a hit. Tragic Kingdom has sold over 15 million copies worldwide.
Publicity for the group was mainly focussed on Gwen and her image as a strong woman in the rock and roll industry, her hairstyle and clothing copied by teenage girls worldwide something like Avril Lavigne in 2002-3.
Their most recent album, Rock Steady, featured another hit single, Hey Baby, with a notably more studio-influenced flavour.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | CUPID, n. The so-called god of love. This bastard creation of a barbarous fancy was no doubt inflicted upon mythology for the sins of its deities. Of all unbeautiful and inappropriate conceptions this is the most reasonless and offensive. The notion of symbolizing sexual love by a semisexless babe, and comparing the pains of passion to the wounds of an arrow -- of introducing this pudgy homunculus into art grossly to materialize the subtle spirit and suggestion of the work -- this is eminently worthy of the age that, giving it birth, laid it on the doorstep of prosperity. |
