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.

The longer the EMBLB defy the whims of fashion and refuse to die, the more they feel like a minor national treasure.

On Blood & Fire, the Brighton swamp-rock berserkers deliver another dozen slices of frenzied gothabilly and psych-punk while singer Guy McKnight channels the undead spirit of Lux Interior.

Like the previous two, their third album is bursting with B-movie thrills and spills, and feels like being strapped to the fender of one of the cars in Death Race 2000. The 1970s Stallone original, naturally.
