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.The Mae Shi sound like they don't know what they are any more than we do, and that's fantastic. Put as simply and briefly as I can, 'HLLLYH' (no, me neither) sounds like old school heavy metal one second, Toys R Us synthpop the next, a carnival marching band after that, then nosebleed rave. Or, in the case of "Pwnd", an orchestra catching fire while a pimp quotes The Shangri-La's. This LA quartet have gallows humour and hooks to burn, and I defy you not to love an album which ends with what sounds like the Polyphonic Spree chanting "Don't you worry, it'll be over when you die" to the tune of Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark".
