Beartooth, The Plot in You, Invent Animate, Sleep Theory

Beartooth has been a leading voice in the hardcore scene for more than a decade now. Between the Ohio-based band’s visceral metalcore instrumental backing, choruses so catchy that they almost threaten to become radio pop songs (heaven forbid!), and lyrics containing a surprising depth, it’s easy to understand why their Spokane tour date has already sold out. The group’s 2023 album The Surface takes a brighter approach than their previous album Below. And with songs like “Sunshine!”, “What Are You Waiting For” and “Might Love Myself,” Beartooth seems to be entering a new era marked by a vibrant, hopeful tone that we don’t often see in the genre.
