Squeeze is a British new wave and pop-rock band formed in London in 1974, led by songwriters Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford. Known for their clever, narrative-driven lyrics and catchy melodies, they achieved success with hits like “Tempted,” “Pulling Mussels (From the Shell),” and “Up the Junction.” Blending pop sensibilities with inventive arrangements, Squeeze became a defining voice of the late ’70s and ’80s British music scene. Their enduring influence continues to inspire songwriters worldwide.
