No Doubt are ending their extended hiatus to record their first album in six years. Singer Gwen Stefani is currently touring her second album The Sweet Escape and will join her three bandmates in the studio afterwards.Drummer Adrian Young tells RollingStone.com he will be joining guitarist Tom Dumont and bassist Tony Kanal to work on new material from next month (Jul07)."The three of us are going to lay down some songs with music only (without Gwen). When she gets done with the tour we'll all be there to do it. "We've probably got four albums worth of ideas demoed."He adds, "We've been together since 1987 and we never took a break until three summers ago. Now the break's been pretty long, so I think we're not burning anymore. It's kind of nice to be hungry again."No Doubt formed way back in 1986 but it wasn't until 1995 when the group experinced real success with the release of The Beacon Street Collection which renewed the record label's faith in the band. But it was single "Don't Speak that propelled them to fame spending 16 weeks at number one on the Billboard airplay chart.The group then had a break as lead singer Gwen Stefani released a solo album "Love, Angel, Music Baby" which went on to muli-platinum sales.
