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.Their debut album shifted wild figures, but the Monkeys' growth curve since has been dotted with no less remarkable evolutionary leaps.
Early material showed Alex Turner to be a keen observer of Sheffield life, his band a nut-tight correlative for his fluent, demotic pitch. But a desert trip under QotSA bruiser Josh Homme's watch woke their inner guitar heroes, and R&B leanings have stoked saucier tendencies still on this year's cocksure AM.
And if the title hints at both rebirth and a new dawn, their recent leap in live confidence suggests both fit very nicely.
