Source-derived summary

Invincible Overlord is a side-project band by Tom Dumont (No Doubt) and Ted Matson. The duo was formed after No Doubt's vocalist, Gwen Stefani, decided to pursue a solo career, and the other members began starting families. Invincible Overlord's only album, The Living Album, is available as a free download on the band's website . The album's first five tracks were released in May 2005: "Through the Years", "Powercell", "My Light Is as Bright as the Sun", "Maryland", and "Behind the Mountains". Two new songs were added in January 2006 and August 2007, "You Are Alone" and "Everything Will Be Fine", respectively. As stated on the website, more pieces will be added as they are completed.

Invincible Overlord remixed No Doubt's single "Bathwater" in 2004 in promotion for the No Doubt best-of, The Singles 1992-2003, and created "I Become the Sky" for the soundtrack to The Providence Effect (2009).

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “american band” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 1, 2026.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
