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.

Grungy, sarcy, Americany, cross but cheery, Snider has never not taken a position on anything, whether it's God, bankers or Mick 'n' Keith.

AH&SF meets all his usual criteria: it's funny and sour and something of a mess. Slubbed guitar, dustbin-lid drums, chorusing fiddle, vocal delivery that springs from the pinched shallows of the sinus. And that is always the issue with Snider albums: you like 'em for their thinking and their spirit; you only quite like 'em for their musicianliness.
