On their second full-length release Death of a Cheerleader, Pom Pom Squad stays true to their riot grrrl roots while taking their sound to a new level. Produced by Sarah Tudzin of Illuminati Hotties, this new project explores Pom Pom Squad’s frontwoman Mia Berrin’s complicated relationship with self-acceptance and the beauty in being your own cheerleader. Berrin takes us with her on this introspective journey, to the tune of Pom Pom Squad's unique style of rough-cut garage rock.
