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.

On February 10, experimental rock band Yeasayer, which just released its album Odd Blood, continues to be the most blogged band according to The Hype Machine. British electropop band Hot Chip is in the second spot, followed by British duo Massive Attack, whose highly anticipated album Heligoland dropped on February 9.

New to the top ten is John Ritter, an American folk-rock singer-singwriter. His album So Runs the World Away is due for release on April 23 in Ireland (where his music has been especially popular) and May 4 internationally. The artist is in the blogs following the release of "Change of Time," a single from the forthcoming album that Ritter made available for free on his website. Music blog Side One: Track One (sideonetrackone.com) calls "Change of Time" "four minutes of slow building perfection."

New York electronic duo Phantogram is getting mention on February 10, a day after releasing its debut album Eyelid Movies. Music Fan's Mic (musicfansmic.tumblr.com) reviews, "Their diverse debut album showcases gung-ho attempts at pop gone psychedelic, pop gone anthemic, pop gone hip-hop or pop gone ethereal."
