Squire (UK)

Squire (UK) is a British indie pop band hailing from the United Kingdom, formed in the late 1970s during the height of the mod revival scene. Led by singer-songwriter Anthony Meynell, Squire quickly garnered attention for their melodic sensibilities, jangly guitar-driven sound, and sharp visual style inspired by the original 1960s mod movement. Their early singles, including fan favorites such as "Get Ready to Go" and "Walking Down the Kings Road," established them as a key player within the vibrant mod and power pop circuits alongside contemporaries like The Jam and Secret Affair.

Despite many line-up changes over the years, Meynell’s distinctive songwriting and clear, catchy vocals remained the band’s hallmark, earning Squire a devoted following both in the UK and internationally. The group released several acclaimed albums, including "Get Smart!" and "Hits from 3000 Years Ago," which showcased their knack for punchy pop hooks and thoughtful lyricism.

Squire continues to influence new generations of indie and mod-inspired musicians, celebrated for their contribution to the post-punk and power pop genres and for maintaining a legacy rooted in the spirit of youthful rebellion and stylish innovation.
