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.

Big Star "September Gurls"

Melodic rock gem with typically thoughtful lyrics from the late Alex Chilton, a cult hero who inspired Wilco, Primal Scream, REM and Teenage Fanclub.

Chew Lips "Karen"

One of the British acts causing the most hype at SXSW festival, this tender indie-pop song is their new single.

Here We Go Magic "Collector"

From their new LP, the Brooklyn band channel propulsive krautrock and 1980s indie rock to great effect.

Meth – Ghost – Rae "Dangerous"

The latest from the trio's forthcoming album "Wu-Massacre" isn't their most original effort but it's still a welcome blast of Wu-Tang-patented hip-hop.

Primary 1 "The Blues" (featuring Nina Persson)

UK producer Joe Flory teams up with the Cardigans singer for a melancholy dose of synth-pop.

Suede "The Wild Ones"

An emotional peak in the Brit-pop band's thrilling first gig for seven years.
