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 + Indianapolis

Beartooth played the Egyptian Room at Old National Centre in Indianapolis on March 12, 2024, with a 16-song set. Sunshine opened, and they ran through the catalogue -- Bad Listener, The Better Me, Hated, and The Last Riff all made appearances. The Mr. Brightside cover landed with the usual enthusiasm. Look the Other Way and Devastation were the more aggressive mid-set moments. They closed with the Riptide and In Between encore, a pairing that at this point is practically a contractual obligation.

Live Music in Indianapolis

Indianapolis has a working metal scene that punches above its weight. The city's venues — from intimate rooms to larger halls — host a steady stream of touring metal and metalcore acts. There's an audience here for bands that don't compromise on heaviness but still write songs with actual structure, which is basically Beartooth's whole thing.

Indianapolis road trip to see Beartooth?

Stay in Fountain Square, the neighborhood with actual character—tree-lined streets, galleries, and the kind of restaurants that don't need to try too hard. Dinner at Bluebeard is the right call: meticulous food, interesting wine list, the sort of place that respects both craft and restraint. Spend the afternoon at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, which is legitimately excellent and free. Walk around the Canal, catch whatever's happening at the Vogue or Murat depending on the venue, then hit Mass Ave afterward for drinks at a place like Chatterbox or The Rathskeller. It's a short trip that doesn't feel rushed.
