Example by For Squirrels
Example is an album by For Squirrels, released in 1995. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 11 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Mighty K.C.”, on 11 lists with a best position of #26.
Example was For Squirrels' second album and their only one for a major label, and it arrived in 1995 under the darkest cloud imaginable. Less than a month before its release, a blown tire sent the band's van into a crash that killed their lead singer along with bassist Bill White: half the band gone in one stroke. The two survivors, guitarist Travis Tooke and the band's drummer, chose to put the record out on schedule anyway.
Nick Launay produced, engineered and mixed it, and it's earnest, guitar-driven alternative rock with plenty of bite. "Mighty K.C." was the only single, climbing to No. 15 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks, and rock radio's listeners held on to it for years, while the album stalled at No. 171 on the Billboard 200. The two survivors later started a new band, Subrosa, which put out Never Bet the Devil Your Head in 1997.
