As one of the originators of No Doubt’s multi-stylistic ska-reggae-dance-punk riddim style, Tom Dumont has a tremendous responsibility to keep his rhythm guitar parts driving, tasteful and absolutely rock solid.

The fact that the 11 years between the release of 2001’s Rock Steady and this year’s comeback album, Push and Shove, is a long time in showbiz is not lost on No Doubt guitarist Tom Dumont.

Music critics say the band is on a ‘‘hiatus’’. But No Doubt drummer, Adrian Young, doesn’t agree. He says the band have been too busy making babies – both children and working on new music ventures.

We had the chance to catch up with rockstar bassist Tony Kanal and got the scoop on what he’s been up to lately, what it was like during the early days of No Doubt, what the band has been up to since Rock Steady, and what his plans are for the future.

Bassist Tony Kanal spoke to Popdust about what the heck he did for the past decade, his disdain for '90s nostalgia, and his favorite perk of being a rock star.

The super-anticipated Push and Shove dropped last week, and Music Feeds caught up with drummer Adrian Young to learn more.

Tony Kanal gives us the lowdown on what influences the band's new album.

Entertainment Weekly caught up with guitarist Tom Dumont to talk about the process of getting back together, the core sound of Push and Shove, and the strangeness of being a rock band full of parents.

According to bassist Tony Kanal, it’s a triumph that the album – the band’s first since 2001’s Rock Steady – was completed at all.

For decades, classic rock, punk, and jam bands have absorbed the rhythms of ska, reggae, and other Jamaican styles.
