Beartooth hope they can hang on to touring drummer Connor Denis after he impressed at Download.
Former Being As An Ocean sticksman Denis was brought in as Beartooth’s touring drummer after Brandon Mullins stepped down following recording sessions for current album Aggressive.
Speaking to TeamRock at Download after the band played the Main Stage today (Saturday), frontman Caleb Shomo says: “That was the craziest 40 minutes of my entire life. He’s a psycho, he crushed it today. Things happen for a reason sometimes and we’re very happy with our situation right now.”
Guitarist Kamron Bradbury adds: “As long as he wants to be here for, we’ll be happy to keep him around. He rocks.”
