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 Duke Spirit

It's been a while brewing, but after changing labels and a subsequent delay in making an album, these west country transplants look set to do the business in 2005, with their stirring blues and soul-fuelled, psychedelic-tinged rock. While they're very much a band and a tight unit on and offstage, it's frontwoman Liela Moss who inevitably grabs the attention - her looks have helped get their pictures in the papers. However, more crucially, it's her stage prowess that makes the most impact. She not only owns a purring voice and a huge lung capacity - big enough to fill any venue - but possesess a fine line in harmonica- playing. She's the icing on the cake for what is a good old-fashioned, heads-down rock band. The Social, Nottingham, Wed
