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.All Time Low are here to bring their energetic, loud, high octane sound to London’s Eventim Apollo to a sold-out crowd of dedicated pop punk enthusiasts.
The Baltimore natives kick off their second date of their spring European tour with enthusiastic renditions of “Kicking and Screaming” and “Weightless” to mass hysteria amongst the many screaming teenagers in attendance.
Bandleader Alex Gaskarth proclaims excitement at performing the next track, “Dirty Laundry” – the new single from the next studio album to be released in June – to eruptions of applause.
The rapport that Gaskarth and co have with their loyal fans is very much evident, alluding to a secret show played the night before at Bush Hall.
“I love you guys, 14 years in this career and you’re still here, thank you,” Gaskarth proclaims.
Renditions of “Backseat Serenade” and “Take Cover” slow the pace a little, along with acoustic versions of “Therapy” and “Missing You” before the band depart for a moment.
The band return to stage for their much welcome encore with performances of archive favourites “Lost in Stereo” and “Dear Maria, Count Me In” – enough to send the crowd home happy.
