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.Anteros have revealed their brand new single "Bonnie" which you can check out first via The Independent.
The song was produced by Mercury Prize-nominated producer Charlie Andrew [Alt-J, Madness, Marika Hackman] and is a crowd favourite at their live shows.
Its release follows what has so-far been a brilliant year for the band, with a showcase at The Great Escape festival, slots at Reading + Leeds and Glastonbury, tours with Two Door Cinema Club and Sundara Karma... and a sold-out headline show in London.

What are your plans for the rest of the year?

Can you tell us a few highlights of 2017?
2017 has flown by. We’ve enjoyed touring since start of the year with Blaenavon, Circa Waves and Two Door Cinema Club. We came straight off tour into the recording studio to work on the ‘Drunk’ EP with Nick Hodgson, then got to tour it on our first ever headline tour around England.
We played our first main stage at the last Secret Garden Party, and played other great festivals like Reading, TRNSMT, Community...
We went back to the studio after festival season to work on ‘Bonnie’ and ‘Love’ with Charlie Andrew, which we can’t wait for people to hear.
What was the first gig you ever played and what’s been the best so far?
The first gig we played was at The Monarch in Camden. It was an empty room; just us, our managers and a drunk man who invaded the stage during our set to tell dirty jokes about the queen.
One of the best so far was Community festival in London this summer. It was a home gig for us, but we didn’t expect the crowd that we got. There were people moshing, rowing, sitting on each other’s shoulders. They were singing our songs back to us. It was so overwhelming, I don’t think we will ever forget it.
Anteros play Camden Assembly in London on 31 October, tickets here
