It’s fair to say Beartooth have had the biggest year of their career so far, their 2023 album “The Surface” debuted at #1 on Billboard Hard Rock Albums, Luminate Alternative Albums, and Luminate Record Label Independent Current Albums, as well as #5 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales, not only that but they have sold out tours worldwide, played huge festival slots and gained over a billion online streams. Now, the Beartooth train keeps on rolling with the surprise release of a deluxe edition of the “The Surface’ featuring a brand new song “ATTN.”, new mixes of album tracks and live cuts recorded at the Hard Rock in Sacramento.
“The Surface” represented a shift in energy, musical style and outlook on life for frontman and main songwriter Caleb Shomo and the new song ‘ATTN.’ and it’s accompanying music video feels like the perfect book-end to this era. It’s a fun, feel good anthem full of huge sing-along melodies and classic Beartooth heaviness with the music video providing plenty of easter eggs spanning the bands career, from old magazine features, tour posters and even a nod to Caleb’s Attack Attack days with the MicroKorg synthesiser.
“‘ATTN.’ is about the ultimate conclusion that I’ve come to after this whole album cycle and living with these songs for as long as I have now,” says Shomo, who has spent the past few years diligently cultivating a positive mental attitude after years of sharing his inner demons via his lyrics. “I think self-love has led to a deeper understanding of my value as a person, to myself and to others. I will always be proud of my art, and I will always be proud of the work that I’ve put in to say what matters to me. I think that’s a great lesson for anybody to take in their own work and their own life.“
“Other people’s perception of what you do does not dictate whether something is good or bad — that is only somebody’s view. What matters is you, yourself, believing in your work and if it makes you happy and pushes you to be a better version of yourself. That is all that matters at the end of the day. Chasing that feeling and trusting it and finding a group of people that will empower you in that journey is what it’s all about.“
