Squeeze is a new wave band from Deptford, South London. The group formed in 1974 when Glenn Tilbrook answered an advertisement Chris Difford posted looking for a guitarist and bandmate. The two began writing music together, and were soon recording and publicly performing. Their first hit came in 1978 with “Take Me, I’m Yours”. The band experienced great success with songs that followed, including “Cool For Cats”, “Up The Junction”, “Tempted”, “Labelled With Love” and “Black Coffee In Bed”.
