After a five-year hiatus, No Doubt came back together last year for a summer tour that kicked off at Bamboozle and culminated a performance at Neil Young’s Bridge School benefit in October. So far, the No Doubt “reunion” has only yielded one fresh track: A cover of Adam Ant’s “Stand and Deliver” that the band performed on a flashback episode of Gossip Girl in May 2009.

But yesterday the band revealed on Twitter that “the 4 of us are 2gethr in Hllywd today- 2 start recording the first batch of new ND songs.”

Stefani also revealed that she and Kanal were listening to songs they loved from the 1980s for inspiration. “Pop songs, one-hit wonders, nifty songs, things like that. You just go back and find things that you love, and try to figure out how they made them,” Stefani said. “We just listen to good songs, and then writing our own stuff, we try to pull it out wherever we can.”
