Cheerleader is a new, interesting indie rock/power pop five piece from Philadelphia.

The band was formed in 2012 in Connecticut by schoolmates Joe Haller and Chris Duran; when the duo moved to Philadelphia in 2013 they began to produce and release demos on SoundCloud which drew attention from the likes of NME and Nylon.
The group expanded to a five-piece with the addition of Paul Impellizeri, Josh Pannepacker and Carl Bahner. After a year of tours which included the festivals CMJ, the NME stage at Great Escape and SXSW, the band signed to Bright Antenna Records in 2013.

After a single and an EP, the band released its full-length debut last May 19. It's titled The Sunshine Of Your Youth and was produced and mixed by the great engineer Mark Needham (The Killers, Imagine Dragons, Pink) who, after a gig in New York, invited Cheerleader to record with him in Los Angeles.
