The band started out of Anaheim, California, and became a hit with the release of the singles "Just A Girl" and "Don't Speak" and the release of the ''Tragic Kingdom'' album, which was highly influenced by the relationship between Gwen Stefani and Tony Kanal. After 2004 the band took a hiatus for Gwen to work on her solo career. They recently have returned with a 2009 summer tour, and released a new album in 2012.

* WhiteHairedPrettyGirl: Usually Gwen.

Added Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly, Mood Whiplash, Stalker with a Crush, Anti Love Song

Added DiffLines:

* AntiLoveSong: "Hey You" cynically compares a soon-to-be HappilyMarried couple to faceless Ken and Barbie dolls.


Added DiffLines:

* MoodWhiplash: A frequent side effect of the band's GenreRoulette tendencies. A notable example is "You Can Do It", an incredibly upbeat, disco-inspired dance track that shows up on ''Tragic Kingdom'' right after their most famous breakup song, "Don't Speak".


Added DiffLines:

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: Many of their songs mash up elements from different genres, but "Ex-Girlfriend" is especially notable for its jarring shifts between its hard-driving rock and its rap verses, with a bit of Latin guitar thrown in for good measure.


Added DiffLines:

* StalkerWithACrush: "Spiderwebs" is about Gwen's attempts to avoid one of these.

Added A Wild Rapper Appears, Take That, Last Note Nightmare, Fading Into the Next Song, Closed Door Rapport


* ClosedDoorRapport: "Sunday Morning" was inspired by one of these between Gwen and Tony in real life, according to the liner notes from their GreatestHits album.



* EpicRocking: "The Climb".

to:

* EpicRocking: "The Climb". More recently, "Settle Down".
* FadingIntoTheNextSong: "Sixteen" into "Sunday Morning" on ''Tragic Kingdom''.


Added DiffLines:

* LastNoteNightmare: The title track on ''Tragic Kingdom'' speeds up at the end, until it gets too chaotic for the band to keep up, and the song completely falls apart.


Added DiffLines:

** Listen carefully to the random horn soloing at the end of "Tragic Kingdom". One of them riffs on the ''StarWars'' theme.


Added DiffLines:

* TakeThat: "Tragic Kingdom" is a pretty massive one aimed at Disney.


Added DiffLines:

* AWildRapperAppears: "Hey Baby", "Underneath It All" and "Push and Shove" feature the reggae equivalent of this trope, with guest appearances by Bounty Killer, Lady Saw, and Busy Signal & Major Lazer, respectively.

* ReclusiveArtist: One of Tom Dumont's explanations for why Eric Stefani left the band:
-->Eric, our keyboard player, used to write most of our songs. He was the main creative force in the band for many years. And at a certain point after that first album came out, he had this personal thing, like he didn't like touring, he didn't like all that stuff. He just liked to sit down and write songs. That's him. He's the artistic side, the total Mr. Creative.

* EpicRocking: "The Climb".



* HiddenTrack: ''Return of Saturn'' has "Too Late Instrumental", hidden after either "Dark Blue" (on the normal edition of the album) or "Big Distraction" (the bonus track on the European and Australian editions).



* ThePeteBest: Anyone other than the four, most notably Eric Stefani (their former keyboard player) and most tragically John Spence (their original frontman, who committed suicide). Gwen Stefani is, in fact, the last original member left.

** Eric was suffering from depression and had begun to disengage himself from the band as early as September 1994, and while he sat through the ''Tragic Kingdom'' sessions, he left the band after they finished recording the album. Despite this, Gwen insisted that Eric be included in the album's cover. He's the one in the far distance, looking away from the camera.

** Their new song "Settle Down" featurings a scene in the beginning in which Tony Kanal grabs an orange and savors it. This calls back to the video for "Don't Speak", which starts with him pulls a rotten orange from a tree and ends with him putting it back.
