Squeeze é uma banda britânica que ganhou destaque no Reino Unido
no final dos anos 70, na era New Wave, e continuou a gravar nas décadas de 80 e
90.
Eles são conhecidos no Reino Unido por seus hits “Cool for Cats”, “Up the Junction”, “Tempted”, “Black Coffee in Bed”, “Pulling Mussels (From the Shell),” e “Hourglass”. Embora a banda não tenha feito muito sucesso comercial nos Estados Unidos, as canções “Tempted”, “Hourglass” e “853-5937” fizeram sucesso nas paradas de lá, e o grupo conquistou um público fiel e continua a atrair novos fãs. Todos os hits da banda foram escritos pelos membros Glenn Tilbrook e Chris Difford.
O grupo foi formado em Deptford, Londres, em 1974 e terminou pela primeira vez em 1982. Em 1985 eles voltaram a tocar juntos, e terminaram novamente em 1999. A banda se reuniu para turnês nos Estados Unidos e Reino Unido em 2007, e continuou fazendo turnês até 2010.
O Squeeze confirmou, durante uma entrevista no V Festival, em 2008, que eles pretendiam compor um novo álbum, com material inédito.
A história do grupo começa em Londres, em 1974. Os membros fundadores da banda são Glenn Tilbrook, Chris Difford, Jools Holland e Paul Gunn. O nome da banda foi tirado do último álbum do Velvet Underground chamado Squeeze. O primeiro lançamento do Squeeze é um EP datado de 1977, seguido do álbum de estréia Squeeze (1978), produzido por John Cale.
Após o lançamento de Cool for Cats (1979), o grupo ganhou disco de ouro no Reino Unido e o grupo continua a ter mais sucesso com o terceiro disco, Argybargy. O próximo disco, East Side Story foi produzido por Roger Bechirian e Elvis Costello.
Enquanto isso, Holland foi substituído por Paul Carrack e Don Snow. Com a nova formação é publicado Sweets from a Stranger em 1982, álbum que recolhe as reações negativas da imprensa. Somados a este problema, Tilbrook e Difford decidem dissolver o grupo. No entanto, eles continuam a trabalhar em conjunto para a criação de um álbum como um duo (Difford & Tilbrook) produzido por Tony Visconti.
O grupo se reúne com em 1985 com um novo line-up. No grupo é então adicionado Andy Metcalfe (ex-The Soft Boys), porém ele deixa imediatamente a banda. Em 1989, os discos Frank e A Round And A 'Bout (álbum ao vivo) representam as últimas participações de Holland na banda.
Anos mais tarde, Tilbrook anuncia seu desejo de dar uma pausa para o projeto. A banda decidiu dar um último show em novembro de 1999, na Escócia.
Em 2007, Difford e Tilbrook se reunir para uma série de shows e publicar um "best of". Em 2010, é lançado Spot the Difference, álbum que contém canções regravadas e já remasterizadas, em 2015 lançaram Cradle To The Grave e em 2017, The Knowledge. Texto: Wikipédia.
