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.

Hairy Canadians with day jobs in mental healthcare mixing stoner Sabbath riffage with psych-folk wig-outs – look away now if the words 16-minute epic mean nothing to you. However, if futuristic but retro songs about witches – that have as much to do with Queens of the Stone Age as they do Jethro Tull and 'Crown of Creation'-era Jefferson Airplane – appeal, then Black Mountain might just be your new favourite band. At its best, this is nothing short of ready-made classics for the Guitar Hero generation. At worst, this is Emerson, Lake and Palmer encoring with an endless cover version of "Freebird".
