Inspired heavily by the Beatles and the Kinks, Squeeze was the vehicle for the songwriting of Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, who were hailed as the heirs to Lennon and McCartney's throne during their heyday in the early '80s.
Difford and Tilbrook were wry, subtle songwriters that subscribed to traditional pop songwriting values, but subverted them with literate lyrics and clever musical references.

This two-year project has given Chris the chance to bring together some of the finest writers, as he did on Marti’s Marti’s first album, Smile.
Chris is working on various projects at the moment: a musical with Guy Barker - Jazz Trumpeter supreme, a live album of acoustic renditions of Squeeze songs, and a record with his friend Matt Deighton from Mother Earth fame.

 Chris Difford: Squeeze Play
Although the first single, "This Summer," went on to become Squeeze's first Top 40 hit in the UK in eight years, clear reception was still at a loss with the public.
Since IRS Records, Squeeze's current company, closed their doors July 11, Difford seems more determined to deal with the financial aspects of the current U.S. tour and focus on honing his songwriting skills rather than contend with media commentary on the band's popularity.
Difford explained that he had met her at one of his annual writing seminars two years ago and that "she had such a fantastic voice."

Chris is quite forthcoming in the way that he describes the impact that alcohol had on his life and how it lead to a certain amount of alienation between Glenn and himself.
Chris and Glenn admit the trouble that they had communicating with each other, which one might not expect since they had spent so much time together in their life.
The memories of Difford and Tilbrook are interesting to read, I for one did not know half of all the troubles surrounding the group.

Lyricist/guitarist Chris Difford teamed with singer/composer Glenn Tilbrook to lead Squeeze, one of the most acclaimed and longest-lived bands to emerge from the new wave era.
After writing the Imperial Bedroom track "Boy with a Problem" with Elvis Costello, Difford resumed his collaboration with Tilbrook, composing songs for fellow Squeeze alum Jools Holland, as well as Paul Young, Billy Bremner, and Helen Shapiro.
Difford went on hiatus from the group in 1999.

 Chris Difford : I Didn't Get Where I Am - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
For 25 years, Chris Difford was the quiet half of the songwriting duo in Squeeze, rarely singing but writing nearly all of the band's lyrics.
So when Glenn Tilbrook, Difford's old songwriting partner, dropped a solo album with an unexpected amount of lyrical complexity, the burden was on Difford to reply with a disc that matched the melodicism of Tilbrook's.
The material is ballad-heavy, owing more to James Taylor than the Beatles, and Difford's vocals -- which were always hoarse, bassy, and uneasy on Squeeze albums -- instead sound warm and inviting.

Difford and Tilbrook continued to work together, and released one self-titled album as the duo Difford and Tilbrook in 1984.
Jools' brother Chris Holland played a few gigs as a second keyboardist in 1985, but was quickly replaced by an official new member Andy Metcalfe of the Soft Boys and The Egyptians.
Difford also stopped by to sit in for a few songs at a Glenn Tilbrook solo gig in Glasgow in December of 2005.

Chris, about his demons and the problems they caused, and Glenn about his musical dominance of the band.

 Amazon.com: I Didn't Get Where I Am: Music: Chris Difford   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Somewhat the coming together of Difford and Tilbrook brought memories of other composing duos -although I would not put them on the same level than Lennon and McCartney, they were one of the memories.
The biggest difference between Difford and Tilbrook, as far as their solo efforts, is -and I know this will sound quite subjective- that Difford's work seems just as heartfelt and true to his soul as his contributions during the eighties, while Tilbrook's does not.
This CD is not for everyone, but it does not sound like Chris was concerned with commercial issues at all - he simply made a CD he could be proud of, and it sounds like there was fun and love put in every track.

 DIFFORD & TILBROOK
The rhythm section of Andy Duncan and Keith Wilkinson is cold, the synthesizers sterile and the usual sparks fly harmlessly off the studio walls.
The new romantic affectations are regrettable, but it was a road the pair apparently needed to explore.
Difford & Tilbrook, in time, would come to be regarded as no more than a speed bump, rather than a death mask fashioned from the face of Squeeze.

 Gig Review - Elvis Costello / Chris Difford
Elvis Costello and The Imposters / Chris Difford - Hammersmith Apollo 13.9.02
The support was provided by Chris Difford and a 3-piece acoustic backing band who treated an appreciative audience to country tinged versions of Squeeze classics as well as a few songs from his new solo album.
Although Glenn Tilbrook is a better singer and musician, Difford has somehow always been the soul of Squeeze for me and it was a moving privilege to see and hear the great man in chipper mood even though his versions of the Squeeze classics lacked the variety of the originals.

 South East Side Story, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Chris Difford was never the lead singer of Squeeze.
In contrast, Difford's low, accented rumble wasn't quite as accessible, at least for a band that wanted to be pop, even though it captured the sardonic humor of his lyrics quite well.
With this in mind, it makes perfect sense for Difford to release an album like South East Side Story, where he offers his own take on Squeeze's classic songs.

Squeeze was a music force a long time ago, and even that band was anxiously leaving the rock out of rock and roll.
Chris Difford marches on in a quest for pure pop mastery, and though his wordplay remains sharp as ever, the endless barrage of hooks from yesteryear is nowhere to be found (former partner Glenn Tilbrook was the melody man).
What used to be hum along music is now relegated to ho-hum.
