In a tightly packed room, trying to bury myself at the front of the stage, Berrin comes out in lace and leather -- staring onto the crowd with a mischievous smirk. Eclectic with a raw edge, Pom Pom Squad’s EP release show was a marker in their growth from a (as front woman Mia Berrin called it) “baby band” to rolling with the big leagues soon enough. Ow is their newest EP that delves into topics such as trauma, coping, finding validation in one’s own grief. Ow is also so much more than an EP.
At the release show, you saw people crying while mouthing the lyrics because that’s what Pom Pom Squad’s talent can evoke. From Berrin’s body dangling over the crowd to her heavy growl, for me, I felt catharsis every single time. So much so, it was difficult to swallow my own tears during their set.
At the end of the set, everyone screamed for not just one but TWO encore songs, moving Berrin to tears. “These are no longer mine. These are for you,” Berrin said in reference to her tears. For their final song, people opened up the pit and started to slam one another’s bodies into each other. I almost destroyed my camera wanting to go in but I thought I was safer than sorry to not.
A fun yet emotional set, Pom Pom Squad is definitely on the rise to nothing short of wonderful success.
