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.

Is it just me or does the accelerated pace of modern culture mean you are often sick of the next big thing before it's even got off the ground? Point is, all those floppy-haired Brooklyn bands I should be loving are leaving me slightly cold, while the skiffle/rockabilly/Shadows-style of 'Gospel Bombs' has had me longing for the days when the word "arcade" made a person think of jukeboxes, not Fire. Rockabilly, eh? Who'd have thunk it could sound so... so... un-Stray Cats and fun. Music? Fun? Remember that? If this is London's take on the next big thing, count me in. For now.
