Squeeze was a New Wave band that formed in London in 1974. They are known for their hit songs "Take Me I'm Yours," "Cool For Cats," "Up The Junction," "Pulling Mussels (From The Shell)," "Tempted," "Black Coffee In Bed," and "Hourglass," among many others. New Wave is a term that has been used to describe many developments in music, but is most commonly associated with a movement in American, Australian, British, Canadian and European popular music, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, growing out of the New York City punk rock scene, itself...

Membership

The band's founding members were Chris Difford (guitar, vocals, lyrics), Glenn Tilbrook (vocals, guitar, music), Jools Holland (keyboards), and Paul Gunn (drums).

John Bentley replaced Harry Kakoulli on bass in 1979. Jools Holland was next to exit, and keyboard duties were taken over by Paul Carrack in 1980. East Side Story, perhaps Squeeze's most well-known album, was released in 1981. It was produced by Elvis Costello and Roger Bechirian, and featured Carrack's lead vocals on "Tempted". However, Carrack would leave after the release of East Side Story, and was replaced by Don Snow. After Sweets From A Stranger was released in 1982, Difford and Tilbrook broke up the band.

The two songwriters continued to work together, and released one self-titled album as Difford & Tilbrook in 1984. This is not officially considered a Squeeze album, but over the years Difford and Tilbrook would become the only constant members of the band. Thus, to many fans, Difford & Tilbrook is considered the "lost" Squeeze record.

The band re-formed in 1985 with a lineup of Difford, Tilbrook, Holland, Lavis, and Keith Wilkinson on bass (Wilkinson had played on Difford & Tilbrook). Andy Metcalfe of the Soft Boys and Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians joined the next year to supplement Holland's keyboards.

Jools Holland left Squeeze again in 1989, and Gilson Lavis left in 1992. By this point Squeeze was basically a trade name for Difford and Tilbrook plus sidemen. Players with Squeeze during the 1990s included drummer Pete Thomas and pianist Steve Nieve of Elvis Costello's Attractions, drummer Kevin Wilkinson, guitarist Nick Harper, Don Snow, Hilaire Penda, Ashley Soan, and Jools's brother Chris Holland. 1989 is a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ... 1992 was a leap year starting on Wednesday. ...
