Cheerleader is Joe Haller, Chris Duran, Josh Pannepacker, Carl Bahner and Paul Impellizeri. The American indie pop band are from Philadelphia.
After garnering critical attention from the likes of NME for their self-produced and recorded three-song demo, the duo grew and began performing live.
Formed in 2012, the band signed in 2013 to Bright Antenna Records and have so far released a 7" single, Perfect Vision/Waiting Waiting, in the United Kingdom and the On Your Side EP in the United States.
Now a five-piece based in Philadelphia, Cheerleader is a bigger version of its original incarnation.
“Thanks to our touring and recording, we have a lot of confidence now,” says Haller. “I really can’t imagine Cheerleader without Josh, Paul, and Carl. They’ve had a huge impact.”
Their debut album Sunshine Of Your Youth is set for release in 2015.
