English rock band Squeeze will perform live at MGM Northfield Park September 1.
Celebrating their fiftieth anniversary with an extensive international tour, Squeeze are one of rock’s vital institutions, a band who carved out a distinctive place in the pop firmament with their vibrantly melodic, perceptive songs. Those songs were written by Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, the composers who remained at the heart of Squeeze since its inception in 1973.
Such early New Wave hits as “Up the Junction,” “Cool for Cats,” “Another Nail in My Heart”
and “Tempted” led critics to label Difford and Tilbrook the “next Lennon and McCartney,” an
assessment that wasn’t proven to be hyperbole. The ensuing decades found Squeeze building
a formidable body of work, a songbook that continues to expand with the release of the
vigorous comeback albums Cradle to the Grave and The Knowledge, a pair of records
Squeeze delivered in the late 2010s after a nearly twenty-year hiatus from the studio.
