Pom Pom Squad

Pom Pom Squad is an innovative indie rock and grunge band hailing from Brooklyn, New York, led by the talented frontwoman Mia Berrin. The project began as a solo endeavor for Berrin, who quickly expanded the lineup to include permanent members Shelby Keller on drums and Alex Mercuri on guitar. The band gained significant attention with the release of their extended plays, “Hate It Here” and “Ow,” in 2018 and 2019, respectively, showcasing their unique sound and lyrical depth.

In 2021, Pom Pom Squad made a significant leap in their career with the release of their debut studio album, “Death of a Cheerleader,” produced by Sarah Tudzin of Illuminati Hotties. The album featured standout singles like “Lux,” “Head Cheerleader,” and “Crying,” which resonated with audiences and critics alike. Their engaging performances during the subsequent tour, including appearances at SXSW and as opening acts for renowned artists like PUP and Bartees Strange, solidified their reputation in the indie music scene.

The band’s evolution continued with the announcement of their second album, “Mirror Starts Moving Without Me,” set for release in October 2024. This album reflects Berrin’s artistic growth, drawing inspiration from diverse influences such as video games and classic pop. The singles “Downhill” and “Spinning” have already garnered positive reviews, indicating a promising trajectory for the band.

With a commitment to pushing creative boundaries, Pom Pom Squad is poised to embark on “The Mirror Ball Tour” in 2025, further expanding their reach and influence in the music industry. Their ability to blend personal narratives with captivating melodies makes them a standout act, and their journey is one to watch.
