No Doubt was formed in 1986 by Eric Stefani and John Spence who soon recruited Eric's younger sister Gwen as co-vocalist. With the addition of Tony Kanal on bass, the Orange County band launched a 20-year career that would fuse ska, grunge, alt.rock and shades of other musical genres into a unique mix.
Despite a shifting line-up and the potential distraction of Stefani's solo career, No Doubt have stayed true to their mission to be musical and visual innovators.
With contributions from former and current band members, collaborators, friends and critics, A Simple Kind Of Life is the first major biography of No Doubt and is now available for the first time in paperback.
