For Squirrels

For Squirrels was an American band formed in , in 1992, renowned for their melodic style and the posthumously released debut album Example (1995), which featured the hit single "Mighty K.C." about . The band's career was tragically cut short on September 8, 1995, when a van tire blowout on Interstate 95 south of , killed vocalist Jack Vigliatura IV (aged 21), bassist Bill White (aged 23), and tour manager Tim Bender (aged 23), leaving guitarist Travis Tooke and drummer Jack Griego as the sole survivors. Originally consisting of Vigliatura on vocals, Tooke on guitar, on bass, and on drums, the group built a local following through performances in the Gainesville music scene and self-released their debut full-length Baypath Rd. in 1994, followed by the Plymouth EP later that year. After signing with Sony 550 Music, they recorded Example, but the accident occurred just weeks before its October 3, 1995, release, turning it into a poignant memorial that sold approximately 100,000 copies. "Mighty K.C." emerged as the band's signature track, peaking at number 15 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and gaining radio play as a tribute to Cobain's suicide, though the full band's potential for broader success was unrealized due to the loss of key members. Tooke and Griego, who had replaced Russell on drums in 1993, continued performing and eventually reformed as Subrosa in 1996, releasing Never Bet the Devil Your Head in 1997 before disbanding in 2001. For Squirrels' story remains a somber footnote in 1990s alternative rock, highlighting the Gainesville scene's vibrancy alongside bands like Less Than Jake and Against Me!.

History

Formation and early career (1992–1994)

For Squirrels was founded in 1992 in , at the , by vocalist Jack Vigliatura IV, guitarist Travis Tooke, and bassist Bill White, who had previously known each other from their high school soccer team at East Lake High School. The original lineup also included drummer , completing the initial quartet as they began developing their sound as an unsigned band. The band's name, "For Squirrels," originated from a playful expression of their dedication to music; as Vigliatura explained, they were so committed that they would perform "for squirrels," a nod to rehearsing in a small storage shed where actual squirrels were frequent visitors. This humorous, nonsensical choice reflected the lighthearted yet determined spirit of the group amid the local wildlife and college environment in Gainesville. In their early days, For Squirrels focused on building a local presence through gigs in the Florida college scene, including performances at campus pubs and dorm events, where they transitioned from comedic skits to more serious musical sets showcasing their raw talent. These appearances helped them hone their style while remaining unsigned and self-producing initial demos. A core songwriting partnership emerged between Vigliatura and Tooke, with Tooke crafting initial guitar hooks and Vigliatura contributing and vocal melodies, often building on bass lines from to create cohesive tracks like jigsaw puzzles attached to personal emotions. In 1993, the band underwent a lineup change when drummer departed after a brief stint, replaced by Jack Griego, who joined for their first official show that August and helped solidify their rhythm section for ongoing local rehearsals and performances.

Breakthrough and classic period (1994–1995)

In early 1994, For Squirrels self-released their debut full-length Baypath Rd., recorded in fall 1993 and limited to 1,000 copies. Later that year, they released the Plymouth EP on the independent label Y&T Music, which reissued five tracks from Baypath Rd. recorded at Mirror Image Studios in Gainesville, Florida, during late 1993. These releases showcased the band's emerging melodic alternative rock sound and helped generate buzz through local performances and demo circulation. This marked a step toward wider exposure in the competitive Gainesville music scene. Building on the momentum from Baypath Rd., Plymouth, and regional shows, the band signed a deal with Sony's imprint (a subsidiary of ) in late 1994, following East Coast tours that demonstrated their potential. The signing came after industry attention from high-profile opening slots, including gigs for Live and during a two-month tour that summer, which expanded their reach beyond . With the classic lineup of vocalist Jack Vigliatura, guitarist Travis Tooke, bassist Bill White, and drummer Jack Griego intact, For Squirrels entered the studio to record their major-label debut, Example, released on October 3, 1995. The album featured the single "Mighty K.C.," a tribute to that climbed to No. 15 on Billboard's chart, driving initial sales past 100,000 copies and introducing the band to national audiences. Supporting Example, For Squirrels embarked on national tours, including appearances at the CMJ Music Marathon in , where their cohesive performances highlighted the lineup's chemistry and raw energy on stage. These outings, amid the grunge-dominated mid-1990s, fostered rapid fanbase growth through word-of-mouth and alternative press coverage, positioning the band as a promising act in the post-Nirvana landscape. The era represented the peak of their pre-tragedy ascent, with live sets blending introspective lyrics and dynamic instrumentation that captivated growing crowds at clubs and festivals.

The 1995 accident (1995)

On September 8, 1995, while traveling on Interstate 95 just south of Savannah, Georgia, the van carrying the band For Squirrels suffered a rear tire blowout, causing it to veer off the road and roll over multiple times. The accident occurred during a tour to promote their upcoming major-label debut album Example, and singer Jack Vigliatura IV, who was driving, along with bassist Bill White and tour manager Tim Bender, were pronounced dead at the scene; Vigliatura was 21, while White and Bender were both 23. Guitarist Travis Tooke, 23, sustained a broken elbow, lacerations, and bruises, requiring hospitalization at Liberty Memorial Hospital in Hinesville, Georgia, while drummer Jack Griego, 28, suffered a broken neck and nerve damage, undergoing surgery at Memorial Medical Center in Savannah. The crash was attributed solely to the tire failure, with no fault assigned to the band members, and authorities confirmed the deaths on-site, leading to immediate cancellation of the ongoing promotional tour for Example. Surviving members Tooke and Griego faced profound emotional trauma amid their physical recoveries, with a memorial fund established to cover medical expenses and funerals held on September 13 in , for Vigliatura and White, and in , for Bender. Media coverage in rock publications quickly highlighted the band's rising potential and the senseless loss, amplifying the tragedy just weeks before Example's scheduled release. 550 Music, the band's label, expressed deep grief in a statement from executive Polly Anthony, noting the group's bright future, but proceeded with the album's October 3 launch as a posthumous rather than altering original plans for a full promotional rollout. This decision shifted focus to honoring the deceased through the record, though active touring and further original productions were indefinitely paused.

Reformation and SubRosa era (1996–2001)

Following the tragic 1995 van accident that claimed the lives of vocalist Jack Vigliatura IV, Bill White, and tour manager Tim Bender, surviving guitarist Travis Tooke and drummer Jack Griego recovered from their injuries and decided to reform the band in 1996. Tooke assumed vocal duties in addition to guitar, while Griego continued on drums; they recruited Andy Lord and Mike Amish, who handled guitar and keyboards. This new lineup initially continued under the For Squirrels name, promoting existing material like the single "Mighty K.C.," which achieved significant radio play following the accident. To honor the lost members while signaling a fresh start amid the profound changes to the band's dynamic, the group changed its name to SubRosa in late 1996, drawing from literary and symbolic connotations of rebirth and shadow. They retained and performed select For Squirrels material alongside new compositions during live sets, blending the original band's melodic with a heavier, more aggressive edge reflective of their grief. In 1997, SubRosa released their sole studio album, Never Bet the Devil Your Head, on (a subsidiary), recorded in with producer . The record featured introspective, gloom-laden tracks that served as subtle tributes to Vigliatura, emphasizing themes of , , and emotional rawness, though it received positive critical notices for its depth rather than widespread commercial success. SubRosa toured extensively through the late to promote the album, including support slots with rising acts like and appearances at regional events, which helped build a modest but dedicated following. Despite some radio for tracks like "In the Shadow," the band's momentum waned as pressured them to revert to the For Squirrels name to capitalize on prior recognition, a demand they resisted. The combination of label disinterest, poor sales amid shifting industry trends toward pop and nu-metal, and internal shifts—such as Griego's departure in 1999 for graduate school and family commitments—led to SubRosa's gradual decline and eventual disbandment by 2001.

Later member activities (2001–present)

Following the disbandment of SubRosa in 2001, the surviving members of For Squirrels pursued divergent paths, largely stepping away from the intensity of their earlier endeavors. Guitarist and vocalist Travis Tooke entered a period of relative seclusion from the music industry, working blue-collar jobs while occasionally writing songs. He reemerged in 2007 with his debut solo , Artichoke, an acoustic-driven release that reflected a more introspective style compared to his band work. In the , Tooke formed the project Helixglow, blending rock elements with experimental sounds; the band made its live debut in , in November 2018, opening for local acts at El-Rocko Lounge. In August 2025, Helixglow released their debut , Busy Offering, independently on . Bassist Andy and guitarist Mike Amish, who had joined SubRosa in its , transitioned to the indie scene in the mid-2000s by contributing to Rain Phoenix's project papercranes. They provided bass and keyboards, respectively, on albums such as Vidalia (2006) and Let's Make Babies in the Woods (2011), helping craft the band's ethereal, folk-infused sound during tours and recordings in and Gainesville. Later, and Amish co-founded Bears and Lions, a family-oriented musical act featuring animal-themed characters and educational content for children; the duo has performed at kids' events, released albums like Navigate (2018), and appeared on , maintaining a low-key presence in the Gainesville area. Drummer Jack Griego, who had been part of the band's efforts, largely withdrew from professional after to focus on family and a non-performing . He took on roles in facilities , eventually becoming of Facilities at UF Jacksonville from 2015 to 2019, and later Division Director of Construction there, overseeing expansions while raising two sons and coaching youth football in the Jacksonville area. The members have occasionally honored For Squirrels' legacy through tributes, including reflective articles and interviews marking the 20th anniversary of the 1995 accident in 2015, where Griego and Tooke shared personal recollections of the band's impact. Additional interviews, such as one with Tooke in 2018, have explored the group's influence amid renewed interest in 1990s alternative rock. As of 2025, no full band reunions have occurred, with the members prioritizing individual family lives and personal projects during a broader wave of nostalgia for the era's music.

Musical style and influences

Musical style

For Squirrels' core sound was rooted in jangly characterized by melodic hooks and dynamic contrasts, often blending pop-inflected verses with grunge-inspired distortion in choruses. This approach created a vibrant, explosive energy across their material, evident in tracks like "Mighty K.C.," which features quiet-loud structures that build from introspective verses to soaring, riff-driven choruses. The band's guitar work emphasized twisting riffs and out-of-the-ordinary dynamics, incorporating elements of thrashing rock in songs such as "8:02 PM" and hooks in "Under Smithville," while maintaining an overall accessibility suited for college radio play. Vocals played a central role, with Jack Vigliatura's soaring delivering emotional intensity that amplified the music's melodic appeal. The band's early self-released works, including the 1994 EP , showcased a lighter, faster-paced sensibility with quick-changing guitar chords and bubbling bass lines, evoking a raw, energetic vibe that bordered on without fully committing to it. In contrast, their major-label debut Example (1995), produced by at , featured cleaner, radio-friendly mixes that polished these elements into a more realized and vibrant production, highlighting the band's breadth from stomping anthems like "" to dreamy ambient passages in "Disenchanted." Lyrics throughout their catalog focused on themes of youth, loss, and introspection, often with a prescient edge—such as the morbid imagery in "Mighty K.C."—delivered with angst-laden conviction that underscored the music's emotional core. Following the 1995 accident, the surviving members reformed as SubRosa, evolving toward heavier tones with increased complexity and raw intensity, channeling into a sound marked by gloom and determination. Their 1997 album Never Bet the Devil Your Head, also produced by Launay, diverged from the earlier leanings into intricate compositions blending distortion and depth, as heard in reworked tracks like "8:02." Tooke's grittier vocal style replaced Vigliatura's cleaner delivery, adding a layer of aggression while retaining melodic hooks, and the production emphasized emotional layering through added instrumentation like keyboards. This shift maintained the band's focus on introspective lyrics about survival and transformation but infused them with a darker, more resolute tone reflective of their experiences.

Influences

For Squirrels drew significant inspiration from , particularly their jangly guitar work and introspective lyrics, which shaped the band's early song structures with simple melodic hooks and rudimentary rhythms. Guitarist Travis Tooke described as the "single biggest influence" on their sound, citing albums like for its role in fostering a sense of musical freedom. This influence was evident in their debut album Baypath Road, blending post- chime with angular riffs. The explosion of the early 1990s also impacted For Squirrels, leading them to incorporate heavier riffs and raw emotional delivery amid the era's rise. They cited Nirvana and as key influences, with the former inspiring their single "Mighty K.C.," a tribute to that peaked at No. 15 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. This adoption of elements added intensity to their foundation, aligning with broader trends in expression. Emerging from Florida's Gainesville music scene, For Squirrels were exposed to a vibrant local community that contributed to their development. The area fostered tight-knit acts like and , whose melodic and energetic styles influenced the band's early performances and networking in the mid-1990s underground circuit. This regional ecosystem provided a platform for honing their sound before signing with . In the wider alternative rock landscape, For Squirrels nodded to the dynamic shifts of Pixies and the anthemic builds of , expanding their palette beyond jangle-pop. Tooke highlighted Pixies' influence on their explosive dynamics, while bassist Bill White drew from 's expansive songcraft. These elements contributed to a versatile style that mixed fury with ambient introspection. Following the 1995 van accident that claimed vocalist Jack Vigliatura IV and bassist Bill White, the surviving members reformed as SubRosa, shifting toward a darker tone influenced by themes of loss in acts. Their 1997 album Never Bet the Devil Your Head embraced heavier and aesthetics, channeling raw pain into intricate, emotionally charged compositions. This evolution reflected a deepened engagement with 's melancholic undercurrents, diverging from their earlier roots.

Discography

Studio albums

For Squirrels released two studio albums during their initial run, with the surviving members later issuing one additional full-length under the SubRosa name. Their debut, Baypath Rd., was self-released in 1994 on limited edition CD, limited to 1,000 copies, and featured 10 tracks capturing the band's early sound influenced by college radio acts like . Recorded independently in , it focused on themes of youth and transition, serving as a local showcase that helped secure their major label deal. The band's major label debut, Example, arrived in October 1995 via /Epic Records, produced by at studios in and during mid-1995 sessions that were abruptly halted by the fatal van accident in September. This 10-track album compiled the completed pre-accident recordings, blending melodic with edges, and included unreleased material polished for release; it peaked at #16 on the Heatseekers chart and sold over 100,000 copies, driven by the single "Mighty K.C." which reached #15 on the Tracks chart. Critics praised its honest hooks and toe-tapping energy amid the tragedy, though commercial momentum was overshadowed by the loss of vocalist Jack Vigliatura and bassist Bill White. Following the as SubRosa, the surviving duo of /vocalist Travis and Jack Griego, augmented by new members, produced Never Bet the Devil Your Head in 1997 on /. Recorded in post- studio sessions with Tooke handling lead vocals, this 13-track effort featured original compositions, incorporating experimental elements and raw emotional intensity as a testament to resilience after the . Despite its poignant divergence from For Squirrels' style toward heavier rock influences, the album underperformed commercially, sinking without significant chart impact or sales traction.

Extended plays

For Squirrels released their debut extended play, Plymouth, in 1994 on the independent label Y&T Music. This five-track EP served as a promotional tool, compiling selections from the band's earlier self-released album Baypath Rd. to pitch to major labels during their East Coast tours. The record captured the group's early alternative rock sound, characterized by grunge-influenced riffs and introspective lyrics. The tracklist includes "Flagboy" (4:09), "Kaberet" (4:17), "Go On Up" (3:38), "Kill the Birds" (4:03), and "" (2:36). Recorded in a DIY manner at Mirror Image Studios in , from November to December 1993, the sessions emphasized the band's raw, local production approach without major resources. Plymouth played a key role in the band's career progression, helping secure their signing to Sony's imprint shortly after its release.

Singles

The band's lead single "Mighty K.C." was released in 1995 by as the first offering from their major-label debut album Example. The track, a gritty anthem inspired by Cobain's , gained traction on radio shortly after the band's tragic van accident in September 1995, peaking at No. 15 on the chart in January 1996. An accompanying , featuring performance footage and thematic visuals, received airplay on , contributing to the single's role in propelling the band to brief recognition amid their untimely loss. The song's success helped Example sell approximately 100,000 copies, marking For Squirrels' highest commercial achievement.

Band members

Original and classic lineup

The original lineup of For Squirrels formed in 1992 at the in Gainesville, consisting of childhood friends from : lead vocalist and primary songwriter Jack Vigliatura IV, lead guitarist and backing vocalist Travis Tooke, and bassist Bill White, with drummer joining initially. Vigliatura, born on December 20, 1973, in but raised in after his family relocated, brought a charismatic stage presence marked by dramatic flair and an ear for infectious hooks, as evidenced in his contributions to tracks like "Mighty K.C.," which he co-wrote as a tribute to Cobain's death. As the band's frontman, Vigliatura quit college shortly before his senior year to pursue music full-time, convincing his father with the promise of the group's potential, and his earnest vocals and songwriting drove the band's early sound. Travis Tooke, also a founding member from Clearwater, served as lead guitarist and backing vocalist, co-writing key songs like "Mighty K.C." and providing wiry, technically proficient riffs that formed the backbone of the band's post-grunge energy, often developing initial hooks that the group built upon collaboratively. Having learned guitar alongside Vigliatura and White without formal training beyond high school, Tooke contributed to the rhythmic drive and melodic structure, drawing from their shared soccer-playing days at East Lake High School. Bill White, the bassist and another Clearwater native who attended East Lake High School with Vigliatura and Tooke, provided the steady rhythmic foundation essential to the band's live performances and recordings, having previously played and served as drum major in his high school's . As a veteran of the local scene through early gigs at venues like The Covered Dish in Gainesville, White co-wrote tracks such as "Mighty K.C." and helped shape the band's accessible yet intense style during their formative years at the . Drummer rounded out the initial lineup in 1992 but served only briefly through 1993, departing due to academic commitments as he pursued law studies at , leaving the band to seek a more permanent percussionist. Jack Griego replaced Russell in 1993, bringing a relocated Jacksonville background and solidifying the classic era's live energy with his dynamic drumming that supported the band's transition to frequent regional performances and self-released material like the 1994 album Baypath Rd.. Tim Bender, from , acted as the band's unofficial fifth member as tour manager starting in 1994, handling logistics for their growing tour schedule following the release of Baypath Rd. and the Plymouth EP, which enabled the group's expansion beyond local Gainesville shows. Tragically, Vigliatura (age 21), White (age 23), and Bender (age 23) perished in a van accident on September 8, 1995, while returning from a performance, leaving Tooke and Griego as the sole survivors of the classic lineup.

SubRosa lineup

Following the tragic van accident in 1995 that claimed the lives of original frontman Jack Vigliatura and bassist Bill White, surviving members Travis Tooke and Jack Griego reformed the band in 1996 under the name SubRosa, recruiting new members to fill key roles. Tooke assumed lead vocals and guitar duties, becoming the primary songwriter after Vigliatura's death, which allowed the band to channel their grief into a more introspective sound on their sole album, Never Bet the Devil Your Head. Andy Lord joined on bass guitar, providing rhythmic stability and contributing backing vocals that added harmonic depth to the arrangements. Mike Amish came aboard in 1997 as guitarist and keyboardist, enhancing the band's sonic palette with layered textures and atmospheric elements that expanded beyond the original For Squirrels' raw edge. Jack Griego continued on drums from the classic era through SubRosa's early years, maintaining continuity until he parted ways with the band around 1999. Rusty Valentine then took over drumming duties from 1999 to 2001, bringing fresh energy that supported the band's touring efforts and final recordings, ensuring performance consistency during a period of lineup flux. The core quartet of Tooke, Lord, Amish, and the rotating drummers handled the bulk of SubRosa's output, with no prominent session players noted for the Never Bet the Devil Your Head sessions, which were primarily band-driven. This configuration persisted until the band's disbandment in 2001, marking a transitional phase that honored the group's roots while forging a distinct identity.
