Songs like 'The Past is Dead,' 'Fed Up,' and 'In Between' have pushed BEARTOOTH past a billion streams. As Kerrang! observed, 'Caleb Shomo is one of his generation's most remarkable songwriters.' It's a testament to the purity of intention manifested by the multi-instrumentalist from the start. As the band he assembled to play the songs traveled, they discovered how many people recognized the same demons. Shomo started this band in his basement, playing all the instruments to challenge and purge inner darkness, purely for himself at first.
The track memorializes the struggle with mental health and self-acceptance, which has defined so much of Beartooth since its inception.
Beartooth, the band Forbes declared is 'inching towards a tipping point of becoming the latest arena headliner,' dropped their latest anthem 'RIPTIDE' in 2022 and it saw frontman Caleb Shomo put the pain of the past in the rearview mirror as he takes the steering wheel from fate to command his own destiny.
