Grew up listening to them….. inspired by the red lips’ & just jammin’ & groovin’ ~

Reunions are always a hit-or-miss affair, especially when you’ve been out of the game for close to ten years, and your lead singer has an established solo career. A lot has changed since the heady days of ska-punk revivalist hits such as Don’t Speak and Hey Baby and Underneath It All. In a nutshell, the 90s were kind to this laid back and effusive dancehall-reggae-pop-punk act out of Anaheim, California.

Then leading lady Gwen Stefani launched a quite successful solo career, pumping out hits like Hollaback Girl, Cool, and The Sweet Escape that belied her advancing age (this being a band that had originally formed way back in 1986) and connected her with a teenage audience wired with the latest digital tools.
Now with the band finally back together, Push and Shove plays like an attempt to get them back on solid ground and find their footing in a radically altered music industry, where physical album sales have plummeted and digital media is king….. iTunes or whatever it is how you get your music, I’m HUGE with supporting entertainers that you love, keep them around XxxX.3.V.O.7. ~ WW
