It is incredibly hard to balance effective tension with effortless melody. But it’s harder still to manage tension within a band when it’s the defining aspect of its co-founders. Glenn Tilbrook, the lead singer, guitarist and songwriter, and Chris Difford, the other singer, guitarist and lyric writer, were childhood mates whose affection and admiration for each other was matched only by the friction and disdain they inspired in one another. After eight years apart (save for sporadic collaborations), Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford reformed Squeeze in early 2007. [29] The rest of the lineup was completed with former bassist John Bentley and new members Stephen Large on keyboards and Simon Hanson on drums. [30] During a UK tour in late 2010, Large was temporarily replaced by Steve Nieve. [31] The group issued two live albums and Spot the Difference, comprising new recordings of old songs, between 2007 and 2012. [3] Personnel remained stable until July 2015, when Bentley left the band by "mutual decision". [32] He was replaced by Lucy Shaw, who completed recording for Cradle to the Grave. [33] Following the release of Ridiculous, Don Snow (now known as Jonn Savannah) returned to Squeeze yet again as their touring keyboard player, but by 1997, the Squeeze line-up had officially dwindled down to just Difford and Tilbrook. That year the duo, billed as Squeeze, released the non-album single "Down in the Valley" as a fundraising single for Charlton Athletic F.C. Tilbrook formed the Quixotic label for this and future Squeeze-related releases, as well as releases by other artists. Squeeze embarked on their 'Spot The Difference' tour of the US in July 2010, which continued in the UK in November and December. The CD Spot The Difference, a re-recording of Squeeze's classic hits, was released in August 2010 to accompany the tour. a b c d e f g Erlewine, Stephen Thomas. "Squeeze: Biography & History".

In the United States and Canada, the band and album were dubbed UK Squeeze owing to legal conflicts arising from a contemporary American band called "Tight Squeeze". The "U.K." was dropped for all subsequent releases. In Australia, 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 UK Squeeze up to and including 1985's Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti. [18] From 2008 forward, Difford and Tilbrook repeatedly stated in interviews that they planned to produce an album of new Squeeze material; they alluded to this in on-camera interviews at V Festival in both 2008 and 2011. In January 2010, it was announced that they would be spending part of the coming summer in Italy together writing songs for a new Squeeze album, and in an interview on BBC Radio Wales on 10 November 2013, Tilbrook stated that Squeeze would be recording between January and March 2014. However these sessions never took place and Tilbrook ended up recording and releasing the solo album Happy Endings. 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.
