Squire Fan Club Newsletter

Hi and welcome to this week’s newsletter! I know, waiting is agony, and we’re all waiting for further news on the Smash LP release! Well, here is another unreleased track from the record! We can't wait to announce the release date! Indeed, waiting seems to be theme of the month! I spent last week doing a different type of waiting - I took a train to Aberdeen and back! Dashing through stations, waiting in "waiting rooms" (that word!), all to a timetable the trains had quietly decided to ignore. While blindly staring out of the train window at engineering marvels...

Hi and welcome to this weeks newsletter! We’re diving into Smash! The missing Squire album. Last week we previewed two tracks and this week a special third track… The title is written on the reel! Winterman! It seems apt. It’s the middle of May and it feels like February. North wind, heating back on, coat back on.This is  the perfect week for Winterman. 'Hey! Mr. Winterman, give us back our sunshine if you can!' The song is the penultimate track on Side Two of the forthcoming Smash LP, and if you've ever had to nervously knock on a grumpy neighbour's...

Hi and welcome to the latest newsletter We're back from LA, and clearly bought the sun with us! It's 30°, higher tomorrow and the football's on, so I'll keep this short. Here's the next track from Smash, The Sun Will Never Shine Down On You, with a ride up to the Hollywood sign to go with it. The song is made for the heatwave!

Hi and welcome to the latest newsletter! I've been busy listening to all the rough mixes of the upcoming LP and what jumps out more than anything is the Rickenbacker 12-string sound - it's so characterful. It's always been a major part of the Squire sound; I was already using the azure blue 12-string live on stage in 1979! And in 1980, when we recorded My Mind Goes Round In Circles / Does Stephanie Know?, it was my main guitar, and has been ever since really. I rarely play a live date without it nearby, and on some tours -...

Hi and welcome to the Squire newsletter! The weather has suddenly become summer! A new day! While working on the Smash LP release, I’ve been reminiscing about the time spent in California and realising that a lot of the stories have been subjects for the Squire newsletter, that is now up to 160 editions! While its May Bank Holiday in the UK, it’s a good time to relax and think about some of those stories in the context of how I’m writing longer posts on Substack as ‘Sunday Listening Sessions’ and introducing new tracks from the forthcoming record.
