Band Dies in Crash

[Mongo]

For some reason I remember them.  My brother had a cd of theres.  Didn't the surviving members go on to form another band?

Yep, the For Squirrels story is very similar to what happened to the Exploding Hearts. They were on the road touring and a tire blew out.
 
 The song was called "Mighty K.C." (as in Kurt Cobain -- people thought the band was cursed because that song came out about a year after Kurt's suicide). The album, Example, is pretty good. You can hear REM influences (think Murmur or Document).
 
 The surviving band members did carry on, but I can't remember what they renamed the band. Very sad story.

  Remember that band, For Squirrels, they had a decent album in the mid 90's, and they lost a few folks, including the singer, in a van crash...just thoguht of them. They had that decent single... mighty casey or something like that.

The remaining For Squirrels members became Subrosa, who appear to have broken up as well.

 A band that sounds like REM and sings about Cobain (didn't he spell his name "Curt" by the way?) sounds like something I would really enjoy...NOT!

 I know I've seen Cobain's name spelled with a "C" because I thought it was a "K" so that's why I noticed it...anyway, do we really care? Let's move on.
