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.

Steven James Adams has released the video for his song 'Togetherness', and you can watch the exclusive premiere here in The Independent.

Directed by Liam Nolan, the video stars Adams and artist Dan Hillier, depicting two men in chemical warfare suits wandering through the woods to result in a rather unsettling dystopian theme.

Adams was the former songwriter, singwriter and guitarist for Cambridge rock group Broken Family Band, but you'd be hard put to hear any similarities in his new material.

He said of his new album Old Magick and his work with producer Dan Michaelson: "We worked in a bubble. Michaelson wanted to make a record that sounded like me, not me trying to do something I don't normally do."

Old Magick is released on 4 March 2016, with the UK tour beginning on 12 March at Hope & Ruin in Brighton.
