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.

Cincinnati sextet Foxy Shazam are the deranged, inspired rock'n'soul monster led by Eric Nally, a man with the face of D'Artagnan and the bravado of a backyard wrestler.

A story-so-far "debut", FS features their first British single "Oh Lord", a cameo from Justin Hawkins, the doo-wop of "Bye Bye Symphony", and the "Don't Stop Me Now" momentum of "Wannabe Angel" on which Nally yelps, "And all you hipsters say I'm gay/ Well I'm not gay at all!" If you don't love Foxy Shazam, he'll hurt himself.
