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.Slaves have announced their third album Acts of Fear and Love, which is set for release on 17 August this year via Virgin EMI/AMF Records.
The English punk rock duo shared the news along with a tongue-in-cheek video starring guest producer Baby Bart Vincent, which you can watch now via The Independent.
The title comes from a memory of drummer Isaac Holman's college teacher who once told him: "There's no such thing as hate - just acts of fear and love."
Holman recalled the moment to bandmate Laurie Vincent who said: "That's it! That's the lyric!" And Isaac goes: 'Really?'"
See the tracklisting for the album, below:
1. The Lives They Wish They Had
2. Cut And Run
3. Bugs
4. Magnolia
5. Daddy
6. Chokehold
7. Photo Opportunity
8. Artificial Intelligence
9. Acts Of Fear And Love
Acts of Fear and Love will have "a more personal fear" and sees the band eschew their more traditional style, working with fashion and documentary photographer Juergen Teller to capture these latest, more candid shots.
To celebrate the announcement, Slaves will play four small independent music venues in the UK to their most dedicated fans on the 'I Would Drive 500 Miles and I would Drive 500 More and Then Drive 126 More Tour' - tickets are available for fans who pre-order the album.
