The Story

Formed1974OriginUnited KingdomGenrenew waveLabelI.R.S. Records, A&M RecordsMembersGlenn Tilbrook, Harri Kakoulli, Chris Difford, Jools Holland

Picture a vibrant British pub, where the air is thick with laughter and the clinking of pints, and in the corner, Squeeze is spinning tales of heartache and humor. Hailing from the UK, this new wave band, featuring the dynamic duo of Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford, along with the energetic Jools Holland and Harri Kakoulli, crafted a sound that danced between sharp wit and infectious melodies. With catchy gems like "Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)" and "Another Nail In My Heart," they captured the spirit of the times. While they may not have reached the heights of commercial fame in the States, their tunes like "Tempted" and "Black Coffee in Bed" still resonate, reminding us of those sweet moments when life felt like a perfect pop song.
