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.

If there's anyone who can get away with wearing Ramones T-shirts without being suspected of Topshop cluelessness, it's Shonen Knife.

The legendary Japanese girl-punk trio, loved by Kurt Cobain, have in their time performed as a tribute band, the Osaka Ramones. This covers album, featuring gleeful renditions of "Blitzkrieg Bop", "Rockaway Beach", "Pinhead" and so on, may be a joyous blast of buzzsaw pop, but you just know that the live shows will be even better.
