For Squirrels formed in Gainesville, Florida, in 1992. The original lineup of Jack Vigliatura IV on vocals, guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:09763qi96GN1hPJPlsUUZ6">Travis Tooke</a>, drummer Jay Russell, and bassist Bill White played around the area, and they released Baypath Rd in early 1994. After tours of the East Coast and the release of the EP Plymouth, For Squirrels signed with <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Sony%22">Sony</a>/<a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22550+Music%22">550 Music</a>. The group then replaced <a href="spotify:artist:4M4hr3Yx8ArpST0G9zCRzH">Russell</a> with Jack Greigo and in mid-1995 recorded their major-label debut, Example.
On September 8, however, the band's van blew a tire and overturned on the way back to Florida from a gig at CBGB's in New York. Vigliatura, White, and manager Tim Bender were killed, while <a href="spotify:artist:09763qi96GN1hPJPlsUUZ6">Tooke</a> and Greigo also suffered injuries. Example, released less than a month later, received overwhelming support from college radio. <a href="spotify:artist:09763qi96GN1hPJPlsUUZ6">Tooke</a> and Greigo were encouraged and decided to continue the band with high school friend Andy Lord on bass. ~ John Bush, Rovi
