Black Polygons tease ears with three-song EP

Warm and crackling reverberations coupled with bassy thuds transport one to an almost guitarless, shoegazy planet on this self-titled EP. Inspired by the likes of Dntel and MBV, Parisian brainchild Cyril Rampal barely wets the listener’s whistle when his third and final track comes to an end. Standout tune “Reverse” clocks in at a […]

No Doubt giving free download of entire catalogue to concertgoers

I guess to say “thanks” or to just lure people to their upcoming tour (which, to be fair, I DID say was unappealing), No Doubt is giving away a free download of the entire catalogue. That means every album from 1992’s No Doubt to 2003’s compilation The Singles.
