The band is still going strong today their most recent effort, Cradle to the Grave, was just released in 2015. Plus, their compilation Singles - 45’s and Under is considered one of the best greatest hits-type albums around, even though it was released in 1982, long before they were done releasing great material. Since 1978, the band has released 14 studio albums, all of which are loaded with great songs.
Drummers and bassists changed positions, horns came and went, but at the heart of Squeeze was always the trademark Difford and Tilbrook sound: beautiful hooks, undistorted guitars, and lyrics that really made you pay attention, all packaged in perfect three and a half minute tracks. While the band’s lineup has been somewhat fluid over the years, the core has always been guitarists Difford and Tilbrook, frequently with pianist Jools Holland. You may not know Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook by name, but you certainly know Squeeze, the prolific band responsible for some of the most melodic, new wave influenced pop of the 1980s.
