There’s going to be a No Doubt special on E! September 24 @ 9:00 PM, ET/PT! From this web site:
“Members of the iconic band sits down with E! to share their fascinating story of how a group of teens who just loved making music skyrocketed to fame and dominated the billboard charts. The entire band – Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont and Adrian Young – opens up about their unique history, their personal relationships, their creative process and family life with the help of close friends and family members.
“We weren’t struggling for fame, really. We were excited just to play the next show!” – Tom Dumont
“When I think back to all the different stuff that happened in this band it feels like I’m making it up because it’s so dramatic.” – Gwen Stefani
“When my son came… what I want to be best at is being a dad. There’s no room for sucky dads, and that’s another thing I’m proud of, my band mates for – they’re all really good parents.” – Adrian Young
“From when I was a really little girl, I always thought, you know, I want to get married and be a mom. Now that I am a mom nobody told me how hard it was going to be!” – Gwen Stefani
“There are only three other people in my life that have the same experiences as me. And that’s Gwen, Tom and Adrian. And to now share this new experience of raising a family all together is pretty awesome after, you know, being together for 26 years.” – Tony Kanal”
MTV has posted a new interview from the 12th on their site, which includes video. :

No Doubt, Music News
“No Doubt weren’t particularly concerned about staying current with “Settle Down,” the lead single off their first album in 11 years, Push and Shove.After all, for more than two decades now, they’ve gleefully mashed worldly beats — ska, reggae, dancehall and electro — with radio-friendly pop … and it’s just been over the past few years that the rest of the industry has caught up with them.
Then again, despite the prevalence of globe-spanning pop on the charts these days, No Doubt don’t consider themselves to be pioneers. In fact, for them, melding styles and genres has always been part of their plan … even if, more often than not, they’ve never really had a plan to speak of.
“We don’t know what we’re doing,” Gwen Stefani laughed. “Everything’s basically a series of accidents and mistakes.”
And that was exactly the same, uh, method they applied to Push and Shove (due September 25), which seems them not only working with the dancehall duo of Major Lazer and reggae artist Busy Signal, but continuing to push the boundaries of pop and rock. It’s what they’ve been doing for 25 years now, and, as the old adage goes, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
“Honestly … we just make music that we love and we want to play. We get inspired by something, and we kind of go with it,” bassist Tony Kanal said. “We’ve always been huge fans of ska and reggae music, and when we were making the Rock Steady record, we were super into dancehall — we still are.
“And on the Return of Saturn tour, before we made Rock Steady, we were having dancehall parties every night, and I feel that really fueled and fed into making Rock Steady, so much that we actually went to Jamaica and recorded with incredible Jamaican producers down there,” he continued. “I think if something inspires us, we go with it, we know when it’s working and we just kind of run with it. It seems to work for us.”
