"You’ll find out over the next couple of years what it means when Beartooth headline": Caleb Shomo on idolising David Draiman, duetting with Papa Roach and whether he'd reunite with Attack Attack!

Beartooth Caleb Shomo.

The sunlit rooftop of Red Bull Records is an oasis of calm above London’s West End. Hammer is sitting across from Caleb Shomo, the brains behind Columbus metalcore outfit Beartooth. 

Instantly recognisable in a Barbie-pink bandana that’s become his trademark, the effusive frontman is brimming with positivity and gratitude when we put your questions to him, and rises to the occasion, relishing the opportunity to talk about his enduring love of AC/DC, being a David Draiman fanboy, having a sweet tooth and, yes, his extensive headwear collection.
