Back in June 2020, we sang our praises for the 4-piece metal band as they had just released ‘I’m Not Right’. Now, Tetrarch feeds the fire with ‘You Never Listen’, the second single off of their upcoming album, Unstable.
With layered downtuned guitar riffs, swirling vocal melodies, a driving drumbeat, and heavy bass, ‘You Never Listen’ takes an electrifying hold on the listener. Best experienced at the highest volume possible, the heavy melodic track builds anticipation, a release of pressure, the power of letting go, and an ache to headbang.
Feeling engulfed in the music, like shockwaves shooting through veins clinging onto broken emotions, the build up of percussion keeps your heart on edge while the driving power chords bring a level of energy only unlocked through the strength of music. Tied together by Josh’s emotion evoking vocals, ‘You Never Listen’ is an addictive listen.
“You Never Listen' is about having the strength to say enough is enough and to rid yourself of those toxic situations,” shared lead vocalist and guitarist, Josh Fore. You Never Listen' is for anybody who has struggled or is struggling through a broken relationship — whether it be with a family member, friend, significant other, or even with themselves. So many times, we find that people we once were close with or felt like we knew well show a darker and different side of themselves that forces us apart.”
Historically, Tetrarch’s lyricism has been profoundly relatable and ‘You Never Listen’ is certainly no different. The official music video does an incredible job of capturing the energy of the band and song while following along with a story line that digs deeper into the theme of struggling through toxic relationships.
Guitarist, Diamond Rowe shares, "we wanted to do something unexpected and approach the song from a different lens. Conceptually, the video follows a young kid who is obviously living in a bad situation in a messed-up home. Throughout the video, the kid deals with the inner voices and visions in his head, represented by the band members appearing and disappearing, as he struggles to understand what's real and what isn't. As the song ramps up, we wanted to portray the kid as telling those voices to shut up as he takes control and rids himself of the negative energy around him."
If you’re anything like me, ‘You Never Listen’ has quickly become an anthem of “F*@K YOU, I’m going to do me” and you simply can’t get enough of this track.

"You Never Listen” Lyrics
I can’t believe this is where we are
You never listen
I never thought we could fall this far
I never listened
There’s something I’ve been needing to say
I’m getting sick of the fights and the shots you take
It’s chilling the words you choose
Now you’re hiding when they’re spit at you
I can’t believe this is where we are
You never listen
I never thought we could fall this far
Won’t change my mind
I’ll never listen to you
Don’t you know that you’re a burden on me
You’re a monster I thought that I’d never see
It’s a feeling that I won’t miss
Are you happy that it’s come to this
I can’t believe this is where we are
You never listen (I never listen to you)
I never thought we could fall this far
Won’t change my mind
I’ll never listen to
Won’t listen to you anymore
I won’t listen to you anymore
I won’t listen to you anymore
I won’t listen to you anymore (Why are you here)
I won’t listen to you anymore (Get it through your head)
I can’t believe this is where we are
You never listen
I can’t believe this is where we are
You never listen (I never listen to you)
I never thought we could fall this far
Won’t change my mind
I’ll never listen to you
I can’t believe this is where we are
You never listen (I never listen to you)
I never thought we could fall this far
Won’t change my mind
I’ll never listen to you
I won’t listen to you anymore
I won’t listen to you anymore
I won’t listen to you anymore
I won’t
Won’t listen to you anymore
