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.Music Box series five continues with Circa Waves, who released their third album What's it Like Over There? last week.
The London/Liverpool band have come a long way from the indie-rock of their debut Young Chasers, and have now landed on a sound that fuses their classic rock influences with a bigger, anthemic pop feel.
In a review for The Independent I wrote that the single "Movies" is "bursting with the same kind of vim as a Nineties high school film".
"For the most part, Circa Waves prefer to channel youthful disillusionment with an aggressive guitar line (bound to open up one or two moshpits) than any grand lyrical statement. They're not trying to set the world do rights so much as offer fans an outlet for escapism."
Frontman Kieran Shudall and lead guitarist Joe Falconer swung by the Music Box studio to play three original songs, including two off the new album plus their single "T-Shirt Weather" off the Top 10 album Young Chasers.
Thanks to: Kieran, Joe, Jordan Shepley, PIAS and The Independent video team.
