Squeeze is a British rock band that came to prominence in the new wave period of the late 1970s.

The group formed in London in 1974. The two main writing partners in the band, Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, are widely considered to be among the finest melodic pop songwriters of their generation and have often been compared with the legendary Lennon-McCartney partnership, although unlike The Beatles, Difford and Tilbrook’s direct collaboration on songs continued through most of the group’s career.

The original lineup of the band also included pianist Jools Holland, who went on to become a popular solo artist and bandleader, and is now best known as the host of the critically-acclaimed and highly successful British music TV show Later with Jools Holland. Squeeze’s lineup in the 1980s also featured the lead vocals of Paul Carrack, who was one of the lead singers of Ace - whose hit “How Long?” reached #3 in the U.S. charts and also a vocalist with Mike And The Mechanics as well as a solo artist.

Since the release of their last album, 1998’s Domino, no new Squeeze material has been produced. Glenn and Chris have each subsequently embarked on solo careers, with South East Side Story released in 2006 containing a number of reworked Squeeze tracks.

In 2007, Glenn and Chris announced that they were reforming Squeeze for some concerts in the USA and Britain. These dates are to support a new Greatest Hits CD and DVD (Essential Squeeze- released 30/04/07) Glenn Tilbrook is also releasing his original demos on CD, the first of these (The Past Has Been Bottled) is also released on 30/04/07.

Un de mes groupes chouchou avec XTC autre groupe qui à l'instar de Squeeze n'a connu malgré leurs talents qu'un succès mitigé, en France, en tout cas..

Difford and Tilbrook wrote and sang so many brilliant, witty, melancholic, memorable songs - they really were like a Lennon and McCartney of the eighties - and played so well with their band-mates.

um doki66, difford & tilbrook have been compared to lennon & mccartney for 30-some odd years now. too many times really. i think it was something of an albatross from the beginning. it's not something invented by some overzealous fan. [3]

I'm sorry but Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, are NOT "widely considered to be among the finest songwriters of their generation" and are NOT often compared with Lennon-McCartney. I'm sure they wrote some great songs that a bunch of people really love, but this description is a massive exaggeration and was clearly written by an over-enthusiastic fan.
