Thadeus Gonzalez - I Don't Care Anymore (Phil Collins Cover)


Thadeus Gonzalez, a Bay Area-based singer/songwriter, draws inspiration from iconic shifts in music and style in the ‘90s. Starting his musical journey young, he rose to prominence with his band Electric Sister and their album The Lost Art Of Rock 'n' Roll. His solo career began with Utopian Society (2014), followed by the harder-edged Silver Inside (2018). He continued to evolve with Opposite Faces (2021) and his latest album, Street Fights Are Starting To Hurt, which explores themes of struggle and resilience. Known for high-energy performances, he remains dedicated to delivering fresh, dynamic sounds and connecting with audiences worldwide.

Thadeus commented about his new release: I heard I Don’t Care Anymore on the radio as a kid, and even back then, I knew it was a bold song. Years later, I wanted to make a tougher version—louder, heavier, raw. Kyle Homme and I started playing with new arrangements and turned it into something way more aggressive, kind of a grunge/punk approach. Once the whole band got in the studio, it clicked fast. We turned up the guitars and bass, and I screamed it out the way I always felt it should sound.

The video shows us in this tight, almost claustrophobic space—no distractions, just the band and the intensity. I also shot scenes of me skating through Seattle, which was my way of saying “I don’t care anymore.” I grew up skating, so it felt right. I did wipe out hard and fractured my wrist, which sucked—but we kept it in the video. That moment kinda says it all. 

If you follow Given To Rock, you know that I don't share many covers, but I think this one is spectacular, both in terms of sound and performance. I love the sound of the drums and the vocals are spot on, energetic and punchy, but also honoring the original Phil Collins version, despite the different style.
