Squeeze Theeze Pleeze

Squeeze 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 can attract all those who know 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 phonetics 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 in 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’ had great receptivity of the public as this new one Flatline has.
Sueeze Theeze Pleeze has the power of several bands – being heard by a mass society – however, they want to transmit feelings and sensations through their music.
Their music are daily histories 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.
This band passed through good and bad experiences but it is still to give us all great music.
