Squeeze Stream 'Trixies (Part Two)'
(Republic Media) Squeeze have shared "Trixies (Part Two)" as they continue to pull back the curtain into the intriguing world of Trixies with the release of the second song from one of 2026's most anticipated albums.
Their first album in eight years but the first they ever wrote, Trixies is a collection of stories set in a fictional night club written by the band's founders teenage Chris Difford (19) and Glenn Tilbrook (16) at the very start of their songwriting partnership. Released today, 'Trixies (Part Two)', like its predecessor 'Trixies (Part One)', shows that, as the Guardian wrote, "all the Squeeze hallmarks of melody, romance and storytelling were there from the beginning."
Back in 1974, when Trixies was written, the musical vision of the young creators exceeded their virtuosity. Now, fifty years on, that problem no longer exists for the band who have played more than 600 shows since reuniting in 2007. So what better way to mark 50+ years of Squeeze than to complete the circle and realise the vision they had for Trixies? Now this precocious opening volley of songs - under the guiding production hand of Squeeze's bassist Owen Biddle (The Roots, John Legend, Al Green) - finally gets to enjoy its moment in the spotlight.
Squeeze are one of pop's best-loved bands with a catalogue of sky-high classics such as 'Up The Junction', 'Tempted', 'Cool For Cats', 'Another Nail In My Heart' and 'Labelled With Love' and whose live shows are legendary. Currently on tour with Madness, Squeeze have recently announced the most ambitious UK tour of their career, one that will also support the anti-poverty charity Trussell and Grassroots Music Venues. The 16-date Tried, Tested and Trixies Tour in 2026, starting at Glasgow's OVO Hydro on November 12, and ending at the Brighton Centre on December 5, will see Squeeze headline several arenas for the first time - including a hometown show at London's O2 Arena just 3 miles from where the band started. Joining Squeeze on the tour as Very Special Guest will be singer, songwriter and activist Billy Bragg.
