No Doubt Mailing List

Hey Guys…thinking a lot about you! We are baking up one of the most delicious records…your ears will hardly be able to take it…it will be so pleasurable!

It’s been so fun being together everyday. We started writing at Tony’s studio in his house. We just moved to a real studio in the Valley and it makes it all feel like it’s finally happening. We’re recording the first batch of songs that we wrote now and after this we’re gonna go right back in and write some more.

Wouldn’t have gotten to this point without all of you coming out to see us on the Summer Tour. You are so inspiring! Gonna tweet you pictures and keep you updated. We need your vibes! Check out some more news down below…

Love,

Gwen & My Boys (the No Doubt ones

Now that the tour is wrapped and we're busy recording the new album, we want to put some costumes and vintage memorabilia to good use by auctioning it for charity. The auction will be live from June 1-11, 100% of proceeds will be shared between the following four charities.

Animal Acres - Paradise for Farmed Animals & the People Who Love Them

No Doubt Hit Hollywood Studio to Record New Tracks

By Daniel Kreps

No Doubt have finally started recording their first new album since 2001's Rock Steady, the band revealed on Twitter. "The 4 of us are 2gethr in Hllywd today- 2 start recording the first batch of new ND songs," Gwen Stefani and Co. posted along with a pair of photo-booth-style snapshots. As Rolling Stone previously reported, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont and Adrian Young initially began working on the new album while Gwen Stefani was pregnant with her second child, but as Stefani told RS in February, those tracks were mostly scrapped and the band refocused on writing new tracks.

"They were doing stuff before," Stefani told RS, "but things are kind of starting over, you know what I mean? We might revisit some of that stuff, but it's the same old chase. It doesn't matter how we get there — we want to get there, we will, and we're having fun doing it." Stefani also revealed that she and Kanal were listening to songs they loved from the 1980s for inspiration. "Pop songs, one-hit wonders, nifty songs, things like that. You just go back and find things that you love, and try to figure out how they made them," Stefani said. "We just listen to good songs, and then writing our own stuff, we try to pull it out wherever we can." The band has been tweeting about its songwriting sessions, posting in April, "For you synth geeks: massive Oberheim basslines are pumping."

So far, the No Doubt "reunion" has only yielded one fresh track: A cover of Adam Ant's "Stand and Deliver" that the band performed on a flashback episode of Gossip Girl in May '09. After a five-year hiatus, No Doubt reformed last year for a summer tour that kicked off at Bamboozle and culminated with a performance at Neil Young's Bridge School benefit in October.
