We Are Not Listening

We Are Not Listening

In 1995 Pentagram hit the jackpot with wins in three big competitions. Of these, Livewire (annual band competition at IIT, Mumbai) was their biggest win which landed themselves a record deal. This record deal with Plus Music led to the release of We’re Not Listening. The album, when released in 1996, became India’s fastest selling rock album (more than 23,000 copies in less than a month). This also led to a tour of the Seychelles and two videos, ‘The Ignorant One’ and ‘Yoo’ both of which received good airplay on music channels.

Since the release of We Are Not Listening, Pentagram’s music has evolved over the years. what used to be described as Alternative to what is now Progressive Alternative Pop. They use samples, and tweaked electronics, and get a fresh sound that’s fairly unique. The most obvious influence on their sound is the music of Rage Against The Machine. In 2000, the band was busy setting up their own record label, experimenting with new sounds, and the result was an album titled Up.
