Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
The Orwells - Who Needs You
Fresh out of high school, the Chicago garage rock five-piece are one of the best bands to emerge from the US in years. This new single only serves to confirm that fact. http://theorwells.com
Cuz - So Tired
Two minutes of fuzzy, hook-laden indie punk with the swagger of early Strokes or Black Lips. Fans of Parquet Courts and the aforementioned Orwells will love frontman Johnny Ryan's brand new DIY project. http://cuztheband.com
Splashh - All I Wanna Do
The release of their forthcoming debut album 'Comfort' feels like a good time to dust off the Anglo-Antipodean band's best single to date. http://www.splashh.co.uk
Pond - Midnight Mass
A standout track from the Australian band's new album 'Hobo Rocket', Midnight Mass sees Pond ease off the Led Zep-style guitar antics (slightly) and settle into an Beatlesy ballad. http://pondband.com
Filthy Boy - That Life
Dark, witty lyrics set over a waltz beat; Filthy Boy continue to explore the territory between Nick Cave and The Smiths. http://www.filthyboy.co.uk
Loom - Bleed On Me
Rounding off a week of top guitar bands are Loom from LuvLuvLuv Record's exciting new punk spin-off label HateHateHate. http://www.facebook.com/Loomband
