Beartooth
Band Columbus United States Formed 2012
Beartooth formed in 2012 in Columbus, United States. Beartooth has 19 chart appearances on 18 radio countdowns from 7 stations on RockLists, spanning 2014–2024. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Disease”, which appears on 5 lists with a best position of #4. The station that charted Beartooth most often is 98KUPD (Phoenix, AZ), with 6 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2018.
Beartooth began in 2012 as Caleb Shomo alone in Columbus, Ohio, playing every instrument himself on what was meant to be a studio project, and even after it grew into a band of four or five, it has stayed his vision. The sound is metalcore and hardcore punk with the hooks turned all the way up: riffs that hit like a slammed car door, then choruses big enough to sing along to in the pit. Next to Shomo's other work, the songwriting is more conventional, and deliberately so.
Red Bull Records signed on in 2013, putting out the Sick EP on July 26 that year and the debut album Disgusting on June 10, 2014, with "In Between" as its biggest, most bruised singalong. Aggressive followed in 2016 with "Hated", and Disease in 2018 with its title track and "You Never Know". By then Oshie Bichar (bass, since 2014), Connor Denis (drums) and Zach Huston (guitar) had joined Shomo in the ranks. Below, in 2021, delivered "The Past Is Dead", a furious blast of catharsis, and Shomo has kept going with The Surface in 2023 and Pure Ecstasy in 2026.
