Fresh off their headlining Wembley show, to get you in the mood for that lovely metal summer Beartooth have dropped out a new tune, the lovely, ‘Sunshine’
“Sunshine! is about a lot of things, the most obvious being seasonal depression,” explains singer Caleb Shomo. “It’s always been prevalent in my life but as I grow older, it gets more intense. This song is also about moving on from the dark place I was in during 2020 to 2021. At the end of the day, life should be enjoyed and a Beartooth song doesn’t always have to be miserable.”
Rock Giants BEARTOOTH have recently unleashed their new single “Sunshine!”.
On the release, Shomo says:
“‘Sunshine!’ is about a lot of things, the most obvious being seasonal depression,” “It’s always been prevalent in my life but as I grow older, it gets more intense. This song is also about moving on from the dark place I was in during 2020-2021. At the end of the day, life should be enjoyed and a Beartooth song doesn’t always have to be miserable.”

On the announcement, the band says:
“We’re beyond excited to return to Slam Dunk. It’s a killer festival with killer bands and it’s an honor to be a part of the lineup. Like a lot of bands, it’s been years since we’ve been able to play in the UK. I promise we’re gonna do everything in our power to kick major ass. See ya there!”
And also set to play the festival wit Counterparts, 3OH!3, Set It Off, Nova Twins, With Confidence, Magnolia Park and Lil Lotus.
New Jersey’sCAN’T SWIM will release their new album Change of Plans, on Friday, 22nd October through Pure Noise Records.
The band has also shared the wrestling-themed video for “Set the Room Ablaze,” featuring wrestlers Jimmy Lloyd and G-Raver. The song also feature vocals from Beartooth frontman Caleb Shomo.
“The video for ‘Set the Room Ablaze’ is 100% my favourite Can’t Swim video,” says LoPorto. “The process was something I never thought we would be able to be a part of. Partnering up with GCW and seeing those guys give their all, blood, sweat, and tears, for a song of ours was something pretty special. Jesse Korman, who directed it, had such control and power over the acting, being ringside and seeing how he was able to create and manage the storyline was inspiring and very impressive. I think it perfectly complements the vibe of the song.”
As for the song itself, LoPorto shares, “‘Set the Room Ablaze’ is a song I’ve been trying to write for years. To step away from changing lyrics 100 times, covering my story with metaphors and tricky wordplay, this song is as honest as I can get as a songwriter. We basically wrote it remotely and then recorded it for this album. Recently, we were able to get into a room together and play it for the first time. The excitement and energy made me feel like we were a brand new band again, and I can’t wait to play it live live every night on tour.”
Change of Plans was produced, mixed, and mastered by Will Putney of Graphic Nature Audio (A Day to Remember, Every Time I Die, Body Count, Knocked Loose) and is a culmination of everything Can’t Swim have been building and exploring over the last six years, combining their signature visceral lyricism and cathartic rock sound with influences ranging from the worlds of folk to EDM. One could say it’s a little bit of everything all rolled into one, and in a way, that’s true. When life is more unpredictable than ever, Can’t Swim are striking the perfect balance of hope and realism by writing songs that embrace the chaos of life. They want to find and harness a vibe that makes living a bit easier for everyone, and with each release, they’re getting closer to that goal.
Beartooth’s upcoming record, ‘Change Of Plans’ is set to be released this Friday 22nd October via Pure Noise Records. Pre-orders are available via Pure Noise Records Webstore.
