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.

Should you give the Features a chance because they are Kings of Leon's favourite band, as well as the first act signed to their fledgling label?

No. You should give the Features a chance because they are very good at what they do. Twelve years of obscurity will do that to a band. And what this Nashville-based act do is make grown-up pop that sounds like the Kinks might if they still made records together. It's unchallenging and familiar (Kings of Leon for dads, if you like), but there's even something reassuring about that.
