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.AMERICAN INDIE darlings Sebadoh (right) make a welcome return to the UK for a short tour previewing what promises to be an excellent new album, due for release early in the new year. Led by former Dinosaur Jr bassist, Lou Barlow, who shares his time these days with the Folk Implosion project, they're a smart live act juggling between two-minute pop songs and stimulating improvisation.

Although he's just in his thirties, Roddy Frame wrote his first hit - the supremely catchy "Oblivious" - back when he was just 16 and heading the Scottish band Aztec Camera. Retaining his charisma, and with a fanbase still intact, he's on a UK tour playing songs from his well-crafted album The North Star. Support comes from another Scot in the form of singer-songwriter Astrid, who used to be the vocalist with Goya Dress but is also embarking on a solo career.
