Beartooth’s Caleb Shomo opens up about sexuality, self-loathing, and suicidal thoughts — and it’s reshaping how we hear the new album Pure Ecstasy. Plus Godsmack’s Sully Erna pushes the Scars Foundation, Electric Callboy pulls posts after fans send death threats to teenage girls, and Phil Labonte catches heat for his anti-therapy take. This one got real. 🤘
In this episode:
▸ Beartooth’s Caleb Shomo gets brutally vulnerable on the Disrespectfully podcast — the hosts debate whether to reset on him
▸ Bring Me the Horizon drops Dehumanized, a brand-new bonus track for the re-recorded Count Your Blessings — and it slams
▸ Silent Planet throws free merch to fans to protest a 25% vendor fee — absolute boss move
▸ Periphery’s Misha vs Fit for a King’s Ryan O’Leary: can small bands actually survive right now? Reddit lost its mind
▸ Godsmack’s Sully Erna spotlights the Scars Foundation and suicide prevention mid-encore
▸ End It’s Akil doubles down on Instagram after the Banana Man incident — Steve and the crew go at it again
