Watch Pom Pom Squad’s SXSW Tiny Desk Performance

The performance precedes Pom Pom Squad's headlining tour kicking off this spring.

Pom Pom Squad had a raucous run of performances at SXSW, (including at our party). Somehow in their busy schedule, the band managed to record an NPR Tiny Desk performance in Austin. Powered by Mia Berrin, performed a killer set featuring tracks off of their debut album Death Of a Cheerleader (“Head Cheerleader,” “Drunk Voicemail,” “Crying” & “Be Good”).

The set also featured “Cherry Blossom” from their 2019 Ow EP.

Pom Pom Squad released their debut album Death of a Cheerleader, last year.

Death of a Cheerleader incorporates garage-rock grittiness and authenticity, complemented by dreamy cinematic touches. The album acts as a post-coming-of-age guide exploring concepts like self-acceptance, smashing the patriarchy, being okay with not being okay, and becoming comfortable in your own skin for the first time.
