Биография

Fronted by Anthony Meynell, Squire were at the forefront of the mod revival when The Jam bought attention to this burgeoning scene in the late 70's. With an impressive canon of timeless pop songs, as danceable as they are melodic, Squire sounded like no other band at the time. Releasing the first single of the genre – ‘Get Ready To Go!’, and kicking off the legendary Mods Mayday concert and live album, they continued with two fantastic singles for Arista, ‘Walking Down The Kings Road’ and ‘Face of Youth Today’, the forth ‘My Mind Goes Round In Circles’ featured Kirsty MacColl on vocals. 
 "...If you can imagine the first Beatles album slammed through the sound of classic Flamin' Groovies, with all the wide-eyed enthusiasm and tunefulness that it implies, you'll be close to capturing the sheer joy of Squire" - Dave Thompson - All Music Guide. 
 Squire recorded five albums and ten singles, including the sunshine pop album Get Smart in 1983 and the groundbreaking ‘September Gurls’ album in 1984, the title track a cover of Big Star then undiscovered classic. Relocating to California in 1985 their sound became a perfect marriage of British mod beat and California paisley pop.
 Squire returned to regular live performance in 1999. They were honoured in 2007 by the release of the tribute album 'The Young Idea’. Recent releases include 2019s expanded ‘September Gurls’ album with new tracks, 2020s all new ‘Get Ready To Go!’ album' and current coloured vinyl single reissue series.
