Your support helps us to tell the story

My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.

Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.

Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

As well as being less than radio friendly, Holy Fuck’s moniker carries connotations of snickering 13-year-olds.

The music from this Canadian act, however, is a good deal more sophisticated – essentially a kind of improvised electronica, but with pounding beats to stop the whole thing veering into chin-stroking territory.

Their live set is sure to be devastating, even if they have to play in a converted cowshed at the Lounge on the Farm festival.

Lounge On The Farm, 11 July; T in the Park, 13 July; Loop, 15 August
