Beartooth in San Antonio

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 + San Antonio

Beartooth played Boeing Center at Tech Port in San Antonio on February 17, 2024, rolling out 16 songs with a few curveballs. "Sunshine!" opened the night, and they worked in "The Better Me" and "Might Love Myself" alongside staples like "Disease" and "Hated." The Killers cover "Mr. Brightside" turned up again, and "Look the Other Way" and "Doubt Me" gave the set some extra depth. The encore was "Riptide" into "In Between" -- a pairing that's become a Beartooth tradition on this tour cycle. San Antonio got the expanded setlist treatment.

Live Music in San Antonio

San Antonio's got a solid metal and hard rock underbelly that doesn't always get the spotlight it deserves. The city's heavy music community is tight-knit and hungry, more interested in genuine riffs than trends. Beartooth fits naturally into that landscape—straightforward, heavy, no pretense. The venues here like Boeing Center have become reliable stops for touring acts that actually want to play for people who care.

San Antonio road trip to see Beartooth?

Stay in Southtown, where the gallery scene and restored Victorian homes give you something real to walk through between dinner reservations at Cured, which does thoughtful Italian-influenced cooking without pretension. Catch the show, then spend the next morning at Pearl Brewery itself—the district's worth an hour of wandering. The Majestic Theatre or the Tobin Center are your likely venues depending on the tour routing. Head to the McNay Art Museum if you've got afternoon time; it's one of the better regional collections in Texas and won't feel like you're wasting daylight.
