Daily Smackdown: Paramore vs. No Doubt
No Doubt has dominated the scene since the 90's with their genre crushing combo of ska, punk, reggae, and pop. They're fronted by female vocalist
Gwen Stefani, whose innocent girl gone bad routine hides a powerful force for feminist rock power. No Doubt's current tally of success? 27 million records sold and two Grammy awards. Boom.
Paramore, the newbies on the block, rock their fans with their own power-pop style. Another lady-fronted outfit (the super nice Hayley Williams), Paramore's music is laced with a sincerity and youthfulness that has earned them legions of fans.
Although No Doubt took a break from the music scene, they are back touring the country with none other than Paramore opening for them. So who would you rather be watching?
