Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Kate Jackson
Wonder Feeling
The former Long Blondes frontwoman is taking a more expansive, less kitsch approach to indie pop songwriting on her new material.
Brown Brogues
Wildman
Loud and nasty punk rock'n'roll from Wigan. Behind the heavily muffled vocal sits the kind of beat that makes Mo Tucker sound complex.
Iceage
New Brigade
This aggressive slice of hardcore punk is a standout track on the band's 20 minutes-or-so long debut album.
Bos Angeles
Beach Slalom
With its fuzzy, repetitive guitar hook and pop punk drumming, this track could easily be mistaken for an early Dinosaur Jr single.
Fear of Men
Doldrums
The Brighton/London-based four piece promise new tracks imminently. In the meantime, this excellent early dream pop demo will suffice.
General Fiasco
Hollows (Acoustic)
This stripped-down version from the Belfast band centres around an Americana-tinged vocal and a subtle glockenspiel riff.
The Ghosts
Enough Time
Eighties-style brooding synthpop verses give way an anthemic, falsetto chorus.
Little Racer
Split For The Coast
This song merges The Smiths' melancholic twang, The Thrills' West Coast pop and Nuggets-era garage nihilism.
Milano
The Fall
Acid-dipped techno pop from Toronto, Canada.
