Band Members: SQUEEK began as the title of a four song demo for guitarist / singer Murray Pulver to feature his songwriting. A short time later, Chris Sutherland returned to Winnipeg to join with Pulver, and bassist Paul Yee in the award winning country group DOC WALKER.
They decided almost instantly to form a rock band that would be completely "in the moment"... letting all their influences show, with no premeditated musical styles.
