A collection of previously unreleased demos by Joe Satriani's first band, The Squares, will be made available on April 5th, 2019 via his own Strange Beautiful Music imprint. The Squares featured Andy Milton (who passed away in 1999) on bass and vocals, Jeff Campitelli on drums and Satriani on guitar. Produced, recorded and mixed by John Cuniberti.

"In Berkeley, California back in the late '70s, my then-brother-in-law Neil Sheehan and I decided to start a band," Satriani said. "It would be a power pop trio with me on guitar and Neil managing and writing lyrics. We sought out a drummer and a frontman/bassist, and in December of '79 we found them playing on the local Bay Area scene. Our lead vocalist/bassist Andy Milton was from Cleveland, Ohio. He was 6 feet tall, good looking and had a voice like a modern-day Elvis. Our drummer Jeff Campitelli was fresh out of high school. A local phenom who could groove like Charlie Watts but with a new ferocious energy that would help propel the band into the burgeoning New Wave music scene."
