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.
Drums: Travis Barker
He plays for Blink-182, who I used to love a lot when I was younger. He's a big hip-hop drums fella and he has a lot of cool tattoos as well.
Bass: flea
Red Hot Chili Peppers' Greatest Hits was the first album I ever spent my own money on; I was about 10 years old. I remember practising my aggressive bass moves in my bedroom when I was younger, all thanks to him. I saw him on Jools Holland a few months ago and his fingers move so fast. He's also ranked in the top 10 greatest bassists of all time by Rolling Stone, so he can't be bad.
Guitar: John Mayer
I need to put him in my band somewhere because he was my favourite artist when I was at college. He's a genius on guitar and he's got a pretty husky voice so he can do backing vocals as well. My Mum went through a stage of listening to music like Damien Rice, Dave Matthews and John Mayer, and I got dead into his playing. I had one of his concert DVDs, Where the Light is: Live in Los Angeles, and used to watch it on repeat.
Vocals: Jack White
I was a big fan of the White Stripes and I really liked the Raconteurs. I want to add a bit of edge as well, an edge that Mayer might not have. Jack's a sick frontman and he has that great hair. He's got a good voice but it's a weird voice and he's very identifiable from a distance. He's a brilliant guitarist as well.
Aiden Grimshaw's single "Curtain Call" is out 12 August. His debut album, 'Misty Eye', follows on 20 August
