1992 - 30 Years Ago

1992 No Doubt released their self-titled debut album. The album failed to perform and the record company refused to release a single. (remember at this time it was grunge and angsty music and Ska wasn't really on the US radar.)

The band self-financed the shooting of a video for the song "Trapped in a Box", spending roughly $5,000 on it. The video got local airplay in Orange County but, despite the band's hopes, it was never aired on either MTV or VH1.

Thankfully the success of their third album, Tragic Kingdom, led to fans becoming interested in the band's earlier albums, this one and their second The Beacon Street Collection,
