For Squirrels

For Squirrels was an American alternative rock band based in Gainesville, Florida, United States, founded in 1992.

The band's original lineup consisted of vocalist Vigliatura, bassist White, guitarist Travis Tooke, and drummer Jay Russell.

After touring and establishing a following, the band signed with Sony/550 Music and recorded the album Example with producer Nick Launay (at the time known for working with Midnight Oil, Talking Heads and Kate Bush), which was set to be released on October 3, 1995.

On September 8, 1995, while returning from playing the CMJ Music Marathon in New York City, the band was involved in the auto accident that killed Vigliatura, White, and Bender.

In February 1996, the new lineup began by playing a few low-key shows centered around classic For Squirrels songs and a selection of covers under the pseudonym Revlover.

Eventually, they resurrected the For Squirrels moniker and began writing and performing new material, favoring a heavier grunge sound.
