About Beartooth

Beartooth is Caleb Shomo's metalcore project, built on the foundation of a dude who's genuinely angry and isn't interested in hiding it. What started as a solo recording venture in 2013 turned into a legitimate band that trades in heavy, aggressive metal with hooks catchy enough to stick around after the song ends. Disgusting and Aggressive weren't subtle album titles, and they weren't meant to be. Shomo writes about mental health, frustration, and the kind of raw emotional discharge that metalcore does better than most genres. The band's live presence is where they earn their reputation—it's controlled chaos, the kind of show where the pit is actually a feature, not a bug. They've built a loyal crowd of people who come for the heaviness but stay because there's actual songwriting beneath the distortion. Beartooth keeps hitting the road and keeps making records that sound like someone finally snapped.

Beartooth shows are organized violence. The pit runs the whole set, crowd is locked in, and Shomo's not phoning it in from stage. He's in it with them. Heavy and controlled, not chaotic.

Beartooth + Boston

Beartooth played Citizens House of Blues Boston on January 21, 2024, with a 16-song set. Sunshine opened, and the setlist balanced aggression with vulnerability -- Bad Listener and Hated sat alongside The Better Me and Might Love Myself. The Mr. Brightside cover has become a genuine set highlight, proving that even a metalcore band can't resist The Killers. Look the Other Way and Devastation kept the energy high. The encore of Riptide and In Between closed things properly.

Live Music in Boston

Boston's heavy music scene has deep roots, from the metalcore boom of the 2000s to today's harder alternative acts. The city supports a wide range of heavy music—from established venues like House of Blues to smaller clubs—and has developed an audience that appreciates aggressive, unpolished energy. Beartooth fits naturally into this landscape.

Boston road trip to see Beartooth?

Stay in the Back Bay neighborhood—it's walkable, lined with brownstones, and positioned between the best dining and the waterfront. Book a table at No. 9 Park for New American cooking that actually justifies the hype, or hit Oleana in nearby Cambridge if you want something fresher and less fussy. Spend an afternoon at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, a genuinely strange and rewarding art collection housed in a deliberately eccentric mansion. The Prudential Center has decent shopping if that's your thing, and the waterfront is legitimately beautiful for a walk before the show.
