“Future Stars,” the latest track off Cheerleader’s forthcoming EP On Your Side is streaming now at Diffuser. (http://bit.ly/1mVrWU8) The EP, due October 7 via Bright Antenna Records, is receiving early critical acclaim—NME hails “it’s an approach that yields infectious results” while KCRW adds that the music is “straight up power pop.” Furthermore, lead track “On Your Side” is receiving airplay from tastemakers at KCMP’s “The Current,” BBC Radio 6 Music’s “Steve Lamacq Show,” and XFM’s “X-Posure with John Kennedy.”

Additionally, Refinery 29 recently premiered “Tomorrow Always Knows,” praising “Cheerleader are onto something… their forthcoming EP is one to watch.”

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.”
