    With the perfect combination of Chris Difford's lyrics and Glenn Tilbrook's melodies Squeeze created some of the most memorable and most loved songs of any generation of songwriters. With their indecently adept ability for narrating a good domestic yarn over a suitably pithy couplet, their carefully crafted, inventive songs are utterly timeless. It should come as no surprise then, that many of today’s young bands, ranging from The View to Razorlight to Fountains of Wayne have cited Squeeze as a major influence.

    In early 2007 it was announced that Difford and Tilbrook would reform Squeeze for a series of shows throughout the latter half of the year, in support of Universal/Warner's release of a new "best of" album, Essential Squeeze. John Bentley re-joined on bass for the first time since Squeeze's last reunion show in 1985. The rest of the line-up was augmented by members of Tilbrook's touring band, The Fluffers: Stephen Large (keyboards) and Simon Hanson (drums). The first actual full-band Squeeze show since 1999 took place at GuilFest 2007, and the band went onto play sold-out shows in the US and UK. Five Live (2008) is the first release on the band's new label, Love Records, and was recorded live on the US leg of the 2007 tour.

    Aimee Mann's successful career as a singer, songwriter and bass player has ranged from the Berklee School of Music, to the new wave band 'Til Tuesday to a Grammy Award-winning and Academy Award-nominated songwriter on movie soundtracks.  Her next album @#%&*! Smilers, will be released in June.
