On The Look-out For: Sponge Cola’s 2nd Album: TRANSIT
2004 was an awesome year for the pinoy band scene, and it was in that year that SPONGE COLA broke out with the songs Jeepney and Lunes…
Composed of Yael (vocals/guitars), Armo (guitars), Gosh (bass) and Chris (drums), this foursome released an EP first containing a few of their songs, which was so good it got massive airplay at NU107… both Jeepney and Lunes would later cross-over to other radio stations, prompting SONY-BMG to market the release of their independently-produced album… PALABAS!
2005 saw the release and explosion of the singles KLSP, Gemini and Una… they kickstarted that year with the RISING SUN award they won from the 11th NU107 Rock Awards… KLSP was such a hit, it was the #1 song at 99.5 RT for the year (RT100)… their videos were such chart-toppers at MYX that the video of KLSP won them the Best Rock Video at the 1st MYX Music Awards…
Now, they are gearing the release of their 2nd album, TRANSIT, on Sept. 11… the first single, BITIW, is already a fast-climber on most countdowns… looks like it’s gonna be a big year again for these four guys who really take their music so seriously, you can feel it in all their songs… that’s SPONGE COLA for you, pure music to the core!
