Sponge Cola
Sponge Cola (sometimes spelled Spongecola) is a Filipino rock band formed in 1998. One of the most popular rock bands in the Philippines, the band produced many hit songs including Jeepney, KLSP, Gemini, Bitiw, Tuliro, Di Na Mababawi, Tambay, Kay Tagal Kitang Hinintay, and XGF.
Formation and early years
The band formed between 1998 to 2002, Ysmael "Yael" Yuzon and Reynaldo "Gosh" Dilay (both from Ateneo de Manila High School) met through the school's theatre guild, Teatro Baguntao. Yuzon decided to form a band with Dilay and two other members of Teatro Baguntao. They named the group Sponge after R.S. Surtees' Mr. Sponge Sporting Tour, and the band won in several high school competitions boosting their popularity on campuses and in other schools.
After a couple of lineup changes, drummer Christopher "Chris" Cantada and Rampqueen guitarist Erwin "Armo" Armovit joined the band permanently. Later on, they heard of a Detroit grunge band already using the name Sponge. "But we wanted to keep the word Sponge in our band name because people have already associated us with that name...so we decided to add 'Cola', since it's an easy enough word to remember," Yuzon said. Sponge Cola was officially formed in summer of 2003. In the midst of touring the healthy local gig circuit during their senior year in high school, they released a 5-track, all original, self-titled EP in 2003. It is from here that critics and music aficionados immediately took note of the songs "Lunes (trans: Monday)" and "Jeepney", slowly creating buzz in the underground music scene. In the same year, the band performed a cover of Madonna's seminal classic "Crazy for You", a bootlegged copy of which was shared and downloaded immensely via peer-to-peer networks. This, along with the EP, helped the band break into mainstream consciousness and popularity, gaining extensive airplay from several local pop and rock radio stations.
Sponge Cola (album)
Sponge Cola is the self-titled third studio album by the Pinoy rock band Sponge Cola. Under Universal Records, Sponge Cola is already out in all major record bars.
"Puso" is the first single from the album and is frequently heard after games during the UAAP Broadcast on Studio 23 as it was selected as the theme song for season 71. Their 2nd single "Di Na Mababawi", marked the band's departure from the standard full band rock formula, opting for simpler instrumentation. They then released the repackaged version of this album along with the 3rd single Ayt. The new version of the song featured Gary Valenciano on vocals and synths. This is essentially the band's first dance song. Sponge Cola then released their 4th single Wala Kang Katulad and then released their 5th single Makapiling Ka.
On 2009,a repackaged album of their 3rd album was released with a 2nd disc with 4 new and updated songs

by: Sponge ColaKung pwede lang wag mo na tong iwasan
At wag mo ring ituring na biro
Marahil ito'y di mo inaasahan
Pero sana'y wag ipinid ang pinto
Itikom ang bibig
Mata'y ibaling sakin
Pakinggan mo ang sasabihin ko...
Kailan mo ba matututunan
Kailan mo ba pagsisigawan
Na di mo na pagkakailang tayo
Kayrami nang pinagdaanan
Ano pa ba ang iyong kailangan
Nagsusumamo na sabihin mo...
Ang diwa ko'y tigib sa kaiisip
Sa sarili laging may kinikimkim
Patuloy lamang bang mananaginip
At mananatili lang na nakapikit
Ako'y mayrong batid
Ito'y iyong pag amin
Hindi na natin maiiwasan to...
Kailan mo ba matututunan
Kailan mo ba pagsisigawan
Di mo na pagkakailang tayo
Kayrami nang pinagdaanan
Ano paba ang iyong kailangan
Nagsusumamo na sabihin mo...
Itikom ang bibig
Mata'y ibaling sakin
Pakinggan mo ang sasabihin ko...
Kailan mo ba matututunan
Kailan mo ba pagsisigawan
Na di mo na pagkakailang tayo
Kayrami nang pinagdaanan
Ano paba ang iyong kailangan
Nagsusumamo na sabihin mo...
