Squire Coming Shortly - Get Ready To Go Doing The Flail
Review by Alex Sancho
The album Get Ready To Go Doing The Flail by Squire Coming Shortly is a must-listen for fans of indie rock and power pop. The band's signature sound is on full display throughout the album, with catchy guitar riffs and driving drums driving the songs forward. The lyrics are both introspective and relatable, touching on themes such as love, loss, and the struggles of everyday life. The standout tracks include "Stay With Me," "Flower Girl," and "Let It All Go," all of which showcase the band's ability to craft infectious melodies that stick in the listener's head long after the music has stopped. Get Ready To Go Doing The Flail is a highly enjoyable album that will leave fans eagerly anticipating Squire Coming Shortly's next release.

About Squire Coming Shortly
London, UK
Though they never received the recognition they deserved, Squire was undoubtedly one of the earliest and finest Mod Revival bands of the late 70s. Squire were able to transcend the limits of the genre with their high quality pop which drew equal parts from punk spirit and the 1960s.
Named because they rehearsed above a shop called Squires, this lot went to school with in Woking, Surrey and formed in Guildford not long after as a covers band consisting of Enzo Esposito (vocals/bass), Steve Baker (guitar) and Ross Di'Landa (drums).
In June 1978, songwriter/guitarist Anthony Meynell joined just prior to a high profile gig opening for The Jam. The addition of Meynell changed the band's focus to producing original material, and by 1979, they had released their first single for ROK Records, Get Ready to Go.
While the single gained them some airplay, their biggest break came with the newly termed Mod Revival movement and their appearance on the now legendary Mods Mayday '79 album which featured two new songs by the band.
