For Squirrels, a band from Gainesville, Florida, formed in 1993 with Jack Vigliatura IV on vocals, guitarist Travis Tooke, bassist Bill White, and drummer Jay Russell, who was later replaced by Jack Greigo. After the release of Baypath Rd and Plymouth, as well as a tour of the East Coast, the band signed with Sony/550 Music. In 1995 they recorded Example, their first record with Sony. Vigliatura, White and the band’s manager were killed in a car accident on a trip back to Florida after playing in New York. The release of Example followed a month later and received a great deal of support from college radio. It certainly fits into the college radio/alternative genre, as their sound shows the influence of bands such as the Smashing Pumpkins, Madder Rose, and The Replacements. http://www.cdnow.com
