"...like Garbage crossed with Rogue Traders, Jesus Ain't My Boyfriend is a slickly produced release...upbeat and fresh throughout..." Scott McLennan, Rip It Up Magazine
"The band's pre-release single Jesus Ain't My Boyfriend is testament to the group's untapped talent...high energy, catchy, hook ridden..." www.musicsa.com.au
Squeaker:
Georgii - vocals; Steve (Squeaky) - drums, programming; Rodge - guitar
Throw towering female vocals, ballsy guitars, serious groove and a thread of electro into a mix and Squeaker is what you'll get.
Squeaker was formed in 2002 and in this time they have forged their sound blending their hooky melodies with a solid rock rhythm section and the use of synths and loops.
Primary songwriter and drummer Steve (alias Squeaky) is prolific, creating an eclectic repertoire of hook-ridden tunes that provides audiences with a fresh listening experience with every song. The lyrics are riddled with themes of love and it's contradictions, relationships, social observation, good times and bad - the human condition. Perhaps this is why their songs are embraced so readily by so many.
