Beartooth drop new single ATTN. from The Surface (Deluxe Edition)

With the one-year anniversary of The Surface coming into view, Beartooth have just unveiled a deluxe edition of their 2023 fifth record.

And this new offering from the Columbus crew features fresh single ATTN., which frontman Caleb Shomo explains 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”.

“I think self-love has led to a deeper understanding of my value as a person, to myself and to others,” the singer says. “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,” he adds. “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.”
