SQUARE was founded in the early eighties in the parisian suburbs.
As their live performance were very succesful, they had no problem in finding a label to release their first album thanks to Studio WW and to a Parisian label called Devil's Records.
Even if their name sounds English, SQUARE plays a melodic hard-rock music sung in French.
Their influences are rooted in American Heavy and German Metal even if Iron Maiden and NWBOH had left a few influeces!
Guy Hoc's voice is very powerful and delightful and has put its imprint on French 80s Metal scene.
The two guitar-players, who were constantly part of the line-up, build complex and intricate melodies powered by an excellent rythmic section.
As we discovered when we reissued this album that another band had used this name of SQUARE, we chose to re-name the band STILL SQUARE.
We have also added four CD bonus unreleased tracks, to the eight tracks from the LP
