Holland was a founding member of the British pop band Squeeze, formed in March 1974, in which he played keyboards until 1980, through its first three albums, the eponymous Squeeze, Cool for Cats and Argybargy, before pursuing his solo career.{{cite web|author=Stephen Thomas Erlewine|author-link=Stephen Thomas Erlewine|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/squeeze-mn0000790732/biography |title=Squeeze | Biography & History |website=AllMusic |access-date=24 December 2015}}

He branched out into TV, co-presenting the Newcastle-based TV music show The Tube with Paula Yates. Holland used the phrase, "be there, or be an ungroovy fucker" in one early evening TV trailer for the show, live across two channels, causing him to be suspended from the show for six weeks.{{cite web |url= http://www.laughingpoliceman.com/swear.htm |title=Laughing Policeman Wireless Society: History of Swearing| website= Laughingpoliceman.com| access-date= 13 April 2011}} He referred to this in his sitcom The Groovy Fellers with Rowland Rivron.{{Cite web|url=https://nostalgiacentral.com/television/tv-by-decade/tv-shows-1980s/groovy-fellers-the/|title=Groovy Fellers, The – Nostalgia Central|date=19 May 2022|website=Nostalgiacentral.com|access-date=9 December 2024}}
