Cheerleader Brings “The Sunshine Of Your Youth”

CHEERLEADER CELEBRATES THE RELEASE OF NEW SINGLE WITH EXCLUSIVE LIVE PASTE SESSION

SPRING TOUR DATES CONFIRMED

ON YOUR SIDE EP OUT NOW

“I might’ve originally been hooked by the stuff on the surface, but once I tune out to this Philly five-piece’s brand of glimmery haze-pop, I’m sold”—NYLON

“Straight up power pop.”—KCRW

“Lovely hazy sunny vibes.”—BBC

Breakout band Cheerleader recently performed a stripped-down version of their new single “The Sunshine of Your Youth” for Paste, which can be watched/shared here: http://bit.ly/1uvaiFo. The single can be streamed now via Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/15L4wKo. In addition, the band will embark on an extensive tour supporting The Wombats.

The band’s On Your Side EP, released last year via Bright Antenna Records, continues to receive critical acclaim—NME hails “it’s an approach that yields infectious results,” while CMJ adds, “The band has a very distinct aesthetic, a wall of sound indebted to early ’90s shoegaze but sugar-coated in ’80s synthesizers, and the tracks we’ve heard from this EP mark them as an artist to watch.” Furthermore, lead track “On Your Side” is receiving airplay from tastemakers at BBC Radio 6 Music’s “Steve Lamacq Show,” and KCMP’s “The Current.”

Cheerleader is Joe Haller, Chris Duran, Josh Pannepacker, Carl Bahner and Paul Impellizeri. Haller and Duran’s musical partnership was born in Duran’s parents’ basement, sparking a connection that survived the 2000s and colleges in separate states. 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. 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.”
