Watch: No Doubt Is Back with a New Song and Video

The biggest Orange County band ever releases its first new music in 11 years.

No Doubt, the biggest band to have ever emerged from Orange County's suburban sprawl, has just released a new song and video from its upcoming album Push and Shove, its first since 2001's Rock Steady.

That's an eternity of a break for any band, but No Doubt seem to have only gotten bigger in their missing years, primarily due to singer Gwen Stefani's massive success with her clothing line, weekly appearances in Us magazine, and the pair of solo albums she released during her main gig's hiatus.

The song, "Settle Down," seems to be picking up right where Rock Steady left off, with deep reggae grooves, impossible-not-to-dance-to beats, and Stefani's always-distinctive warble.
