No Doubt is the debut studio album by American rock band No Doubt, released on March 17, 1992, by Interscope Records. It was originally recorded as an independent release, but was re-recorded after the band signed with Interscope. It was produced by Dito Godwin and recorded in Los Angeles.
The album was released during a period of popularity for grunge music, an aggressive rock style which contrasted with No Doubt's upbeat, commercial sound. Despite strong audience reaction to the band's tours, album sales under-performed expectations and sold about 30,000 copies, and received mixed reviews. Interscope refused to fund the release of a single from the album, so No Doubt released the single "Trapped in a Box" independently.
The band independently released their second album The Beacon Street Collection in 1995, which had a better commercial performance, selling 100,000 copies. Interscope then financed and supported their third album Tragic Kingdom (1995).
