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.

Age of Chance arrived like a well-aimed grenade amid the lily-livered cuties of the C86 scene.

Best known for their gleeful cover of Prince's "Kiss", the Leeds agitators delivered a crush-collision of beatbox rhythms, metallic guitars and Situationist sloganeering. Their back catalogue, released on CD for the first time, inevitably sounds slightly dated at two decades' distance, yet also strangely fresh and often truly exhilarating. Imagine a British Debord reading the Beastie Boys.
