No Doubt Return With New Album In September
California pop-rock band No Doubt will be making their long-anticipated return to music this September with a new album on September 25, the band said on their website over the weekend.
The group, comprising lead singer Gwen Stefani, guitarist Tom Dumont, bassist Tony Kanal and drummer Adrian Young, will release their first record in more than a decade following 2001’s Rock Steady.
There is no title yet, but No Doubt did reveal a handful of tracks on which they’d been working in a June 2011 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, including the “party-ready reggae blast” track “Steady Down” and ska-pop tune “One More Summer.”
The quartet from Anaheim, California, formed in 1986 and rose to fame in 1992 with their hit single “Don’t Speak,” helping lead the ska revival of the 1990s, a musical genre originating from Caribbean dance music in Jamaica in the 1950s.
The band took a hiatus in 2004, pursuing solo projects, before reuniting for a greatest hits tour in the summer of 2009 and hitting the road for more than 50 concerts across the US and Canada, supported by acts including Katy Perry.
Lead singer Stefani also gained success as a solo artist with hits such as “Hollaback Girl” from her 2004 album Love. Angel. Music. Baby and “Wind It Up” from her second album The Sweet Escape in 2006, as well as launching a fashion career with her own clothing label.

Backstreet Boys Welcome Back Kevin Richardson
Almost six years after his departure from the group, former Backstreet Boys member Kevin Richardson has declared that he will be returning to the boy band.
“Now everything is back to normal…welcome back Kevin Richardson,” the group—Brian Littrell, Nick Carter, Howie Dorough and A.J. McLean—tweeted yesterday from their official account.
BSB officially made the announcement Sunday during their concert at London’s O2 Arena.
“I think we should let them in on the secret that we have. Since we love you guys so much, we are going to be back this year,” Nick told the crowd, and Brian added, “And Kevin is coming back!”
The 40-year-old, who amicably departed from the group in June 2006 to pursue other interests, also confirmed the news via Twitter, posting, “Hello beau-ti-ful people. Yes, the cat is OFFICIALLY out of the bag. It’s on and crackin!”
