Review by Brandon Baker

Skweeze Me Pleeze Me by Slade: A Glam Rock Gem That Still Hits Alright, so let's talk about Skweeze Me Pleeze Me, the 1974 album from Slade. If you’re into glam rock with a side of pop-rock swagger, this one’s for you. Released across like… what feels like every country on the planet (seriously, Ireland to Angola? Respect), it’s got that classic Slade vibe but also some fresh twists. Produced by Chas Chandler—yeah, THE Chas Chandler who worked with Hendrix—and penned by Holder-Lea, this record is pure energy bottled up in vinyl form. Now, I gotta say, when I first spun this thing, two tracks stuck out to me: "Kill 'em At The Hot Club Tonite" and "Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me." They’re not just catchy—they’re earworms that refuse to leave your brain alone. Like ever. So "Kill 'em At The Hot Club Tonite," right? This track feels like walking into a packed club where everyone’s already lost their minds dancing. It’s raw, punchy, and has that gritty glam edge Slade was known for. The riff grabs you by the collar and doesn’t let go. What makes it memorable? Probably how unapologetically chaotic it sounds—it’s messy in all the best ways, like someone spilled glitter all over a leather jacket. And honestly, isn’t that what rock ‘n’ roll should feel like? Then there’s “Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me.” Oh man, this tune is smooth as hell. Whether you’re listening to the stereo or mono version (yes, both are included because why not?), it slaps. There’s something cheeky about the lyrics, almost playful, but backed by these thundering drums and Noddy Holder’s raspy vocals. You can tell they weren’t trying too hard to be cool—they just were. Plus, the chorus sticks to you like bubblegum under a table. No complaints here. One thing I love about this album is how universal it feels. Polydor and Reprise Records made sure it reached everywhere from Japan to Yugoslavia, which says a lot. Back then, music wasn’t as instant as today—you couldn’t just stream stuff. So the fact that people around the globe were grooving to this album? Pretty wild if you think about it. But yeah, reflecting on Skweeze Me Pleeze Me, it’s kinda funny how timeless it feels. Sure, it came out nearly 50 years ago, but slap it on at a party now, and folks will still bop along. Maybe that’s the magic of Slade—they didn’t chase trends; they created vibes. Or maybe it’s just proof that good rock music never really gets old. Anyway, next time you see this album lying around somewhere dusty, give it a spin. Who knows? You might end up shouting along to “Kill ‘em At The Hot Club Tonite” while wondering why more songs don’t have apostrophes in random places anymore.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: Slade's *Skweeze Me Pleeze Me* album, released in 1974, was a global phenomenon. It hit shelves in over 20 countries, from Ireland to Japan, and even made its way to Angola and Yugoslavia. Produced by Chas Chandler, who also worked with Jimi Hendrix, the album blended glam rock, pop rock, and classic rock. Fun fact—there are multiple versions of the track "Kill 'Em At The Hot Club Tonite," with slight title tweaks like "To-nite" or "Tonight." It’s wild how much effort went into this record, right?

Phenomenal. This is why music was such a massive thing in those days. Music with a very raw and powerful edge, at that. None of your manufactured, auto-tuned, lip-synced, instantly-forgettable garbage.

Of course everything is subjective but, for me, Slade are the greatest rock n roll band ever. Holder's voice is one of the most recognisable in British rock. So glad I grew up in 60s, 70s and 80s when they were in their prime. Compare with today's dross.

Best part is they're not even playing the same song in this video. I mean you couldn't find live footage to sync this song up to?

At that time, there were two musical styles that could not be more different. On the one hand, the "serious" (and terribly boring - with certain exceptions) music of Genesis, Pink Floyd and Emerson, Lake & Palmer (especially the latter always made me feel like throwing up). I made friends with Pink Floyd at some point.

The other side was glam rock. Admittedly, the music was easy. Nevertheless, it had something that "serious" music didn't, namely excitement! It was loud, screechy and it was actually always about sex. You could possibly fuck to "Hot Love" (T. Rex) on continuous loop, but certainly not to "Piano Concerto No. 1 (ELP).

And then there was Slade. To this day I can't explain why those stuck-up students at grammar school who got up with "Selling England By The Pound" and went to bed with "Tarkus" and called us glam rock fans stupid, thought "Cum On Feel The Noize" was great. It doesn't matter either.

Everyone liked Slade. Slade united everyone.
