Doll Revolution is the first album of original material by The Bangles since 1988's Everything. It was released in 2003 on Koch Records.

Unlike in their days with Columbia Records, the release of this album was patchy, being released in Europe and Japan before it was released in the USA.

The tracks are all (co-)composed by members of the band with the exception of "Tear Off Your Own Head" which was composed by Elvis Costello.

The DVD features the first two Bangles songs "Getting Out of Hand" and "Call on Me" from their first 45 single finally on digital format, as well as an alternate mix of "Something That You Said."
