Squeeze are an English rock band known for their witty lyrics and melodic tunes, with Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook hailed as the heirs to Lennon and McCartney during the new wave era of the late 1970s. Formed in Deptford, London, in 1974, the band gained significant popularity in the UK with hits like "Cool for Cats" and "Up the Junction," while also achieving success in the US with tracks such as "Tempted" and "Black Coffee in Bed." After disbanding in 1982, Squeeze reformed in 1985 and continued to release music through the 1990s before disbanding again in 1999. They reunited for tours in 2007 and released new material, including the album "Cradle to the Grave" in 2015 and "The Knowledge" in 2017, cementing their enduring influence in the music scene.
