Mia Berrin makes powerfully cathartic indie rock that’s just as biting as it is heartwrenching as Pom Pom Squad. The Brooklyn-based band recently stopped by KEXP to play songs off their 2021 debut Death of a Cheerleader, and Troy Nelson chatted with the frontwoman about learning to engineer music, Nada Surf’s influence on the band, as well as a very niche indie videogame called Cuphead.  Recorded 05/04/2022. <ol> <li>Head Cheerleader</li> <li>Cake</li> <li>Second That</li> <li>Forever</li> </ol> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVZle2Ip8aQ">Watch the full Live on KEXP session on YouTube</a><a href="https://www.kexp.org/donate" rel="payment">Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/donate</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
