Squeeze is a   who came to prominence in the United Kingdom during the  period of the late 1970s and continued recording successfully in the 1980s and 1990s. They are known in the UK for their   "", "", "", "", "", "", "" and "". Though not as commercially successful in the United States, Squeeze had American  hits with "Tempted", "Hourglass" and "", and they have a dedicated following there and continue to attract new fans. All of Squeeze's hits were written by band members  and , with the former penning the lyrics and the latter handling the composition. The duo were hailed as "the heirs to 's throne" during their peak of popularity in the early 1980s.

The group formed in , London, in 1974, and first broke up in 1982. Squeeze then reformed in 1985, and disbanded again in 1999. The band reunited for tours through the United States and United Kingdom in 2007, and this touring version of Squeeze has continued.

In 2010, they issued , an album of newly recorded versions of older material. Then, during their 2012 tour of the US, Squeeze made available for sale a 4-song CD of new demo recordings; later in 2012, the band's first new official studio recordings in 14 years were issued as the EP Packet Of Four. Currently, this 4-song CD EP is only available as a bonus disc to purchasers of various live concert recordings of Squeeze's 2012 UK tour.

The band's founding members in March 1974 were  (guitar, vocals, lyrics), and  (vocals, guitar, music). Difford claims that in 1973 he stole 50p from his mother’s purse to put a card in a local sweetshop window in order to advertise for a guitarist to join his band, although he wasn't actually in a band at the time. Tilbrook was the only person who responded to the advert. Difford and Tilbook began writing songs together, and soon added  (keyboards) and  (drums) to form an actual band. The group performed under several names, most frequently "Captain Trundlow's Sky Company" or "Skyco", before selecting the band name "Squeeze" as a facetious tribute to 's oft-derided 1973 album .

 replaced Gunn on drums and  joined on bass in 1976.

Squeeze's early career was spent around  in SE London, where they were part of a lively local music scene which included  and . Though the group was initially signed to 's BTM Records, the label went under in late 1976, and so their early singles and debut , 1977's , were released on the label.

Squeeze's first EP and most of its  (1978) were produced by  for . Cale had been a member of Velvet Underground from whose album Squeeze took their name. However, the debut album's two hit singles ("" and "Bang Bang") were produced by the band themselves, as the label found Cale's recordings uncommercial.

In the United States and Canada, the band and album were dubbed U.K. Squeeze due to legal conflicts arising from a contemporary American band called "Tight Squeeze". The "U.K." was dropped for all subsequent releases. In , the same name change was used due to legal conflicts arising from an existing Sydney-based band also called "Squeeze". Albums in Australia were credited to U.K. Squeeze up to and including 1985's .

The band's second album,  (1979), contained the band's two highest charting UK singles in "Cool For Cats" and "Up The Junction", both of which peaked at No. 2.  replaced Harry Kakoulli on bass in 1979 following the release of the LP.

 (1980), the band's third album, was also a UK hit. It was additionally a mild breakthrough in North America, as the single "" was a No. 56 hit in Canada, and second single "" received  on U.S.  .

Keyboardist Jools Holland left the band for a solo career in 1980. Keyboard duties were taken over by highly rated singer-keyboardist , a former member of British soul-pop band , who scored a major international hit with the song "How Long." Carrack had also been a member of .

In 1981 the band cut perhaps their best-known album, . It was produced by  and , and featured Carrack's lead vocals on the radio hit "". Carrack himself left after the release of East Side Story, and was replaced by . This line-up recorded the  LP in 1982. Negative reviews, the stresses of touring, and conflict between band members led Difford and Tilbrook to break up the band later that year, after releasing a final single, "".

Difford and Tilbrook years: 1983–84[]

Difford and Tilbrook continued to work together, and released one self-titled album as the   in 1984. Although it is not officially a Squeeze album, to many fans  is considered a "lost" Squeeze LP[] because Difford and Tilbrook were themselves the only constant members of Squeeze. Several Difford & Tilbrook tracks have been featured on officially-sanctioned Squeeze , and Tilbrook's official site lists Difford & Tilbrook as a Squeeze album.

The duo also contributed to a musical written and staged in Deptford during this period, entitled Labelled with Love and based in large part on the music of Squeeze.

Second incarnation: 1985–99[]

Squeeze re-formed to play a one night   in 1985, with all five members from the 1980 Argybargy period—Difford, Tilbrook, Holland, Lavis, and Bentley. The performance was such a success that the band unanimously agreed to resume  and touring as Squeeze. Searching for a different sound, the band replaced Bentley with bassist from the Difford & Tilbrook sessions. This line-up released the 1985 LP .

The new LP featured complex double-tracked keyboard parts which could not be duplicated by a single keyboard player in a live setting, so Jools' brother Christopher Holland, then 17, played and toured as a second keyboardist in 1985; Christopher had also played  on the album's fourth single "Heartbreaking World", which was sung by Jools Holland. However, Christopher Holland's tenure was short-lived as he had signed to IRS records and was pursuing a solo career, so he was replaced by an official new member  of and . A bassist in those groups, Metcalfe played keyboards with Squeeze. Metcalfe's tenure as the band's sixth member lasted until 1988.

In 1987, the sextet recorded the album . A successful release on both sides of the Atlantic, this album contained the band's only US top 40 hits in "Hourglass" and "853-5937".
