No Doubt Drummer: New Album Won't Be Ready In 2009

Fans will have to wait a little bit longer for a new No Doubt record: drummer Adrian Young admitted that the band is unlikely to release any new music until after 2009. In late November, No Doubt revealed plans to end their five-year hiatus and reunite for a 2009 tour, with a gig at next year's Bamboozled fest their first confirmed concert. "We've been working on a new record off and on now for a bit of time, and we're going to continue to work on a new record next year," Young told MTV News. "We're going to continue to work on music while we're traveling. We'll have a mobile studio on the bus and eventually get to a new No Doubt record." When the new album is ready, it'll have a home at Interscope, the band's label since 1991.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
