Pom Pom Squad

Pom Pom Squad is the project of singer-songwriter and guitar player Mia Berrin, who creates music mostly in the style of grunge and '90s version of alt-rock. The name started as a moniker for Berrin but then became the name of her band. Their music mostly covers the range between amped up punk and the relatively smoother, more melodically conscious rock. When the band is in their full on grunge mode, they pack a lot of angst and intensity. On the other hand, when they loosen up and slide into a more pop kind of rock, the songs have a definite melodic edge and still maintain their punch. There are also times when Berrin takes a left turn somewhere along the way and produces the kind of pop that would have fit right in with the sophisticated pop sound of the '60s, see, for instance, Be Good.
