Шаблон:Infobox albumШаблон:Album ratings Example is the second studio album released by For Squirrels.[1][2] It was produced by Nick Launay. It was For Squirrels' only major label record, as lead singer John Vigliatura and bassist Bill White died when the band's van blew a tire and crashed less than a month before Example's release.[3]

Despite the death of half the band, the two surviving members chose to release the album as scheduled.[4] The band released "Mighty K.C." as the only single from the album. The song peaked at #15 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart on the chart dated January 26, 1996.[5]

The album did not gain mainstream popularity, reaching only No. 171 on the Billboard 200.[6]

Travis Tooke and Jack Griego would form a new band, Subrosa.[7] They released an album, Never Bet the Devil Your Head, in 1997.[8]

Critical reception

The Austin Chronicle called the album "a great approximation of early R.E.M. that would fit nicely in a set with the Gin Blossoms, Toad the Wet Sprocket, and Sponge."[9] Trouser Press wrote that Example shows "that [the band] was a vibrant musical force with a fully realized sound and a knack for explosive, out-of-the-ordinary dynamics."[10]
