Artist:Beartooth
Song:Aggressive
Album:Aggressive
I would describe Beartooth as a metal band with punk vocals. They have had success as an album and touring band. Caleb Shomo does everything in the studio himself and he hires musicians for touring. Shomo is from Columbus, OH. He began writing Beartooth songs while he was in the band Attack Attack!. He was going to call the band Noise. But that name was taken so he changed it to Beartooth which is a street in Columbus. Beartooth was never supposed to be a band. But after he left Attack Attack!, Shomo took it more seriously. As I said, Shomo does everything in the studio and hires musicians for tours. After releasing a couple of songs online and then uploading a live performance video, Beartooth played some gigs including the 2013 Van Warped Tour. I think the video got them their record deal with Red Bull Records. The band continued to tour while Shomo was recording the 2014 album Disgusting. This was followed by the 2016 album Aggressive. This was all supported by constant touring. There were constant changes in the tour band because Shomo just teaches them the songs. They aren't part of the creative process. Why make a commitment to that? Shomo seems to have eased up on that. On Beartooth's 2021 album Below, he actually had the band musicians record the album in the studio. Well, that's progress. Beartooth released a single in July. They will tour Europe in 2023 and then return to the US for festival season. Here's the video for Aggressive by Beartooth.
