Despite
No Doubt's
punk influences, they weren't included in the
grunge boom of the early '90s. Much of the cause is due to the band's debut album, a work of polished production inspired more by '80s synth than
No Doubt's heritage. Compared to Southern California's accepted
ska/
punk fusion, the album is quite
pop-oriented, with
new wave keyboards and punchy brass proving a foil to the basically
ska framework and
Gwen Stefani's extroverted vocals.
