It wasn't long after Declan Schoonover inquired about an empty room in the basement of Shadowood Mall in downtown Muskogee, Oklahoma that the Sabertooth you know of today was born.

Formed in March of 2020, Sabertooth began as only Tyler Mitchem on lead guitar and vocals, and Declan Schoonover on drums, and vocals. The first formation of Sabertooth was then born.

 Tyler began creating lyrics, and testing the waters on which direction the puzzle pieces would fit.

While on the other side of the room Declan quickly started utilizing the pulse, and percussion knowledge he had attained from years of high-school band, and previous projects.

After practicing every night in that mall basement room for hours on end they had landed their first gig. Eventually leading to a secondary private show to a now non-disclosed location.

Fast forward to August of that same year the two forming members agreed that Declan would now be lead guitar, and secondary vocals; but that left a spot open that had to be filled. They needed a drummer. But who?

Enter Alex Holston. The longtime friend of both Declan, and Tyler.

After a late night discussion between both Ty and Declan they had decided to talk with Alex about joining. He immediately said yes and the now trio began practicing that very week.

Their first show as the newly formed group started playing shows in Tulsa Oklahoma on the stage of Blackbird on Pearl.
Playing in every show that they could find during the given time.
Times were great but something was missing.


Concluding amongst themselves that they needed to record the 7-track album, and fast, Declan found Oakwood Studios where the trio recorded the first song: TOOTH.
On that drive home from recording they discussed the idea of bringing a bassist into the band. The three agreed and it was settled, they were becoming a full act.

A conversation or two later with Nick Wooldridge; he was on board..

He loved the idea and began learning as much as he could about bass, having already been a guitarist years prior. Watching video after video, and staying up all night just to make sure the notes he was playing were correct and in key. Nick was a natural fit, practicing with the band only weeks later.

Sabertooth have since then played along side: Anvil, Counter Culture Prophet, Wolf Ugly, (A)ether, Like Before, Harakiri, Shelter in Place, Perseus, and many more notable acts while on the UGLYTOOTH Tour.
