Squeeze Theeze PleezeSqueeze Theeze Pleeze is a Portuguese band. They are from Cantanhede and they came into the music business in 1996, although their formation happened two years after that. Farinha, one of the guitar-players “At the beginning, we all had different projects in mind. Later, we decided to get together and start to build a sound, and finally, we made the band. New people started to join us. It was the beginning of the accomplishment of a common dream that we always had”.The name ‘Squeeze Theeze Pleeze’ has a bizarre sonority that makes everybody caught when they hear it. The choice for that name ‘has to do with me’ says Farinha and he continues ‘when I was little, I had a t-shirt with two lemons that said squeeze theeze pleeze. Then, we decided to give that name to our band. We like it because of the phonetic conjugation of the z’s and the e’s.Like all bands, these five boys – Assalino (vocals), Miro Vaz (guitar-player and producer), Pedro Fonseca (guitar-player), J.Boy and Farinha (bass)- who form Squeeze Theeze Pleeze have their own musical preferences. Red Hot Chili Peppers, Incubus and also Foo Fighters are just some of the references that influence the music they make.This band, with a music style of pop rock, has its latest album ‘Flatline’. Their first single was one of the sounds of the year 2003.With their music on tv series such as “morangos com açucar” and with the single ‘Hi, Hello (my name is Joe)’ on the radio, they are widely recognized in Portugal.Their first album ‘Ode to a child’ was well known by the Portuguese audience. They’re expecting that this new one follows the same way that the first one.Sueeze Theeze Pleeze has the power of several bands. However, they want to transmit feelings and sensations through their music.Their song music is daily stories that can be adapted to the life of each individual. People can identify themselves with what they are listening to or simply with what the music itself transmits.Squeeze Theeze Pleeze is not only for a certain audience. It is for all ages.Their second single ‘D Song’ will be released soon.Squeeze Theeze Pleeze passed through good (forming the band) and band (losing a band element) experiences but they continue to be considered one of the greatest Portuguese bands of the moment.Filipa Correia

I never really payed much attention to the band Squeeze Theeze Please. But it´s good that they talk, well in this case sing, about everyday life so that everyday people can feel as if they relate to the band and the elements of the band. In my opinion, I think they should sing in Portuguese, what do you think?
Yeah, I think they should sing in Portuguese but you know how hard it is to have sucess in the music business if you don't sing in English. The Portuguese bands are used to sing in English, take The Gift for example, they're widely recognized and they sing in English. There are those, few, who have sucess with their Portuguese voices, as Mariza and Rui Veloso.
I agree with you two. they should sing in Portuguese. However, they want to be widely recognized and therefore they must sing in English. It's only about the melody, some say that sounds better singing in English instead of sing it in Portugese. others claim they just want to sing in English in order to be understood by everyone. and music..it's worldwide listen. =)
