EW got an exclusive sit down with band, whose reunion tour kicks off May 2 in Atlantic City, before they took the stage.

No Doubt kick off their first tour in more than five years on May 5, at New Jersey’s Bamboozle Festival (see all tour dates). To get the inside details on what fans can expect from the longtime Orange County hitmakers, we sat down with them recently in Los Angeles.

The big question for the new No Doubt tour: Who's going to be in the house?

Ska-revival band turned pop sensation No Doubt had dabbled in black music before. But with Rock Steady, the group took some artistic chances and really got their groove on.

It's a beautiful Sunday afternoon in Toronto and legions of No Doubt fans, coming to see the band. In the next hour, we're gonna be seeing them perform music from their most recent album, as well as asking them questions.

From the band's point of view, though, it can be a daunting task to grab the brass ring again. Writer's block can creep in. So can self- doubt, which the ironically named No Doubt has fought ever since it began more than a decade ago.

No Doubt have hinted they will split up following the release of their fourth album, ‘Return Of Saturn’.

In the fickle world of pop music, waiting five years to release a new album can be risky— even for a multi platinum act. Will the act’s fans stay loyal? Or will they ignore the act and move on to the next big thing?

“If I could pick one word that would be the theme for this album,” says No Doubt’s singer and frontwoman, Gwen Stefani, “it would be confusion.”

They hit the big time five years ago with their single Don't Speak. Yet, No Doubt's success brought inner turmoil for stunning frontwoman Gwen Stefani.

Like Anaheim, superstardom is a weird place to come from.

Gwen Stefani's ska/rock/ballad band No Doubt have the Number One LP in the US, and the Number One single in the UK with 'Don't Speak'. And she and current beau Gavin Rossdale off Bush are the Kurt'n'Courtney of post-grunge. So what has she got to prove?

Their new album, Tragic Kingdom is out on Interscope now. Gwen and Adrian are huddled around the Gateway2000, ready for yer questions.

Even as it makes a splash in the Home Pond, the Anaheim band knows how to take naught for granted.

Pop music: The Orange County quartet began as a ska band but has made a name for itself with a different kind of sound on its upbeat single.
