Squeeze is a UK new wave band known for their sharp songwriting and catchy melodies, with Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford at the helm. Active since 1974, they’ve crafted a distinctive sound that blends pop hooks with a touch of lyrical wit. Their catalog includes gems like “Pulling Mussels (From The Shell)” and “Another Nail In My Heart,” showcasing a knack for storytelling that resonates with everyday life. While they may not have reached the same commercial heights in the U.S., tracks such as “Tempted” found their way into the hearts of many. With a style that's both relatable and clever, Squeeze has solidified their place in the pantheon of clever pop music.
