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.

Bear's Den (Andrew Davie, Kev Jones, Joey Haynes) have released a live version of their current single "Agape" - filmed at the beautiful Vondelkerk in Amsterdam in October when the band performed there on a sold out European tour.

It’s a stripped back version of the song, featuring the London trio on acoustic instruments and backed by their travelling brass department.

Watch the video below and let us know what you think:

Bear's Den emerged from the same London folk/pub scene as Noah & The Whale, Laura Marling et al. In October they spent a month in the Wisseloord Studios in Amsterdam, after having difficulty finding afforable places to work in London.

More recently they've been working with long time producer Ian Grimble on their new album, who says: "It’s only been 14 Months since we finished Recording Islands but it feels like a lifetime ago... so it’s exciting now to be back in the studio working on album 2 - the new songs are really taking shape."
