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.New Jersey psych-rockers The Grip Weeds draw on a different musical heritage here, with covers of Jethro Tull and Greg Lake sprinkled among the standards and originals.
Their style is a mixture of proggy, British Invasion pop-rock – with plenty of phasing and Keith Moon-ish drum fills on "Christmas, Bring Us", and wailing-harmonica-laced skinny-white-boy blues raunch like "Santa Make Me Good" – and Byrdsy folk-rock, their harmonies and jangly 12-string Rickenbacker transforming "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" into a first cousin to "Turn! Turn! Turn!".
Members of Paul Revere & the Raiders and The Left Banke ae drafted in to lend period charm to songs in their style, the latter sounding right at home among the harpsichord and Mellotron of "For the Holidays".
