The story
London , UK
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 fourth ‘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.
