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.

Any idea that The Darkness would come back meek, chastened and cowed gets royally defenestrated in the first verse of the opener "Every Inch of You", at the moment that Justin Hawkins screeches "every man, woman and child wants to … suck my cock!"

From the exuberant "Nothin's Gonna Stop Us" to a lighter-waving ballad "Living Each Day Blind", Hot Cakes is a rock-solid home win from the band who still do feelgood hard rock better than anyone alive.
