Yeeeeehawww!

No Doubt have made a fairly basic and low-budget-looking video for "Push and Shove", their INCREDIBLE second single from their comeback album of the same name. It's not only their best single in yonks, it's one of the best songs of the YEAR (if we say so ourselves) so even if the music vid doesn't quite blow us away or change our lives, it's the kind of song that's so good it can carry 5 minutes of people larking around in black and white effortlessly.

Um...

We know they revealed their album cover fucking YONKS ago but we've been in the middle of a HELL of a lot of stress and upheaval in our personal lives so FORGIVE and forget please. But don't forget about us! Anyway this is the No Doubt album cover for Push and Shove which is out towards the end of September on different days depending on where you live.

Perhaps you would like a little tracklist? Well here one is:

1. "Settle Down"
2. "Looking Hot"
3. "One More Summer"
4. "Push and Shove (feat. Busy Signal and Major Lazer)"
5. "Easy"
6. "Gravity"
7. "Undercover"
8. "Undone"
9. "Sparkle"
10. "Heaven"
11. "Dreaming the Same Dream"

And because you're lucky and lovely here's an album cover chronology. Gosh they've been all over the place with their album art. 

Shush and Pove

Would you like to hear some new No Doubt!? WOULD YOU? Click above! It's their second eponymous single from up-and-coming album Push and Shove and it's got a classic No Doubt chorus that will have you bumping, grinding and crying all at once (!).

The Diplo produced song "features" (in the way that so many modern popular songs do) two guest artists: Major Lazer and Busy Signal. It's really very good and we hope it'll be a bigger hit for them than "Settle Down".

A very modern pop video

A lot (a LOT) has changed since No Doubt were last a viable pop commodity (since they were last together making music, basically). The pop landscape is now so different it's basically unrecognisable. But No Doubt don't seem to be stuck in the past, here's their brand spanking new video. It's got lots of things you expect to see in a music vid in 2012:

• product placement
• an unnecessarily long intro
• an unnecessarily long outro
• an epilepsy-inducing lighting setup
• super crisp and cool slo mo
• product placement

Also why is Gwen still keeping her sweatshop workers/Harajuku girls locked up in the back of her truck? RACISM. CONTRAVENING HUMAN RIGHTS LAWS. Joke, joke. But really.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

After a year of writing and demoing tracks, No Doubt are properly back in the studio to lay down stuff ONCE AND FOR ALL - stuff that will eventually go on their new album.

Colour us v. v. excited.

Stuck In Our Head: "Magic's in the Makeup" - No Doubt

My fucking god we miss No Doubt.

Underneath it all...

Still the best.



We'll be there at their tour next year. Will you?
