HereÂ`s a great find from the mid-80s! Fans of The Bongos, The Feelies, early Talking Heads, The Reievers, REM and dBs, check the Squares! Basically, right after REM knocked the rock-n-roll Establishment on the head with Murmur, the sQuares left the corn fields of Indiana and headed north. For some unknown reason (cheap rent and beer?) the boys landed in Milwaukee. It was 1985 and since they hardly knew a soul in town they spent most of their time writing songs and practicing. In the Autumn of that year they spent a weekend in the studio and produced the critically acclaimed Number 1 Cassette. Hard to find records from this era still undiscovered and good enough to merit coming out on CD. The Squares fit that request very, very well! "Although none of its members hailed from the Brew City, the Squares were one of Milwaukee`s best bands in the 1980s, mixing high energy rock and roll with melodic pop in the style of the band`s heroes Elvis Costello and REM. Although it only released one vinyl LP, "Enjoy Yourself (And Others)," one vinyl 45 and one CD, "Answer," the band was very prolific, recording a number of locally-released cassettes and more than a few unreleased tracks. Some of that material now sees the light of day on "#1 Cassette." Brian Wooldridge, the band`s bassist and guiding light -- along with brother Scott, who now lives in Minneapolis and with whom he has led The Wooldridge Brothers since the demise of the Squares -- says that although the CD arrives now, it`s been discussed for a long time."-OnMilwaukee.
