Could 70s rock band Squeeze soon be propelled to new heights? In this episode of Needlepoint Paul and Daryl reveal the story behind Squeeze’s remarkable resurgence, and how a 52-year-old demo album is reshaping their legacy.

Join Paul Lester and Daryl Easlea as they explore the band’s recent surprise project: re-recordings of demos written by Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford in their teens. These raw songs offer a vivid glimpse into their early journey, bridging the gap between 1970s adolescence and a sound that still feels fresh today. You’ll hear why this latest chapter feels like a defining moment.

The music moguls unpack the unique partnership between Difford and Tilbrook and look at Glenn’s distinctive guitar style and consider how their theatrical live shows could soon fill major venues like the O2.

Essential listening for fans of classic pop, songwriting craft, and stories of longevity and resilience. If you want to understand how a band can still surprise after 50 years, this episode is not to be missed.
