About Me

SQUEEZE are a classic English pop band. From their formation in 1974 to their latest tour in 2007, they have created some of the most memorable and most loved songs of any generation of songwriters.
With a perfect combination of Chris Difford's lyrics and Glenn Tilbrook's melodies, they produced classics such as Tempted, Some Fantastic Place, Up the Junction, Labelled With Love... the list goes on and on...
From a meeting after an advert in a South-London sweet shop window to selling out Madison Square Gardens, SQUEEZE produced perfect pop music on album after album. Despite changing line-ups and changing fashions, SQUEEZE wrote music that touched millions. Whether joined by original keyboardist Jools Holland, soul vocalist Paul Carrack or multi-instrumentalist Don Snow, Difford and Tilbrook songs have stood the test of time. Compared variously with The Beatles, The Kinks and The Small Faces, their carefully crafted, inventive songs are utterly timeless.
Their new live album Five Live is released on catalogue number LVRCD001 on Squeeze's new label, Love Records.
The album will be available from www.quixoticrecords.com and www.glenntilbrook.com and also at shows.
In 2007 a re-issue programme of their classic albums began, starting with the compilation ESSENTIAL SQUEEZE. Containing 20 tracks, chosen by Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, with all the highlights of their career, it also has two brilliant unheard songs from the vaults, and a DVD of the same name is separately available.
Chris and Glenn are immensely proud of the re-releases so will be playing a limited number of dates together as Squeeze.
All the hits on one definitive package - also includes two previously unreleased songs from the archives remastered by Glenn Tilbrook
Released by Universal Music TV..
