Spong Cola is undeniably one of the most popular bands in the Philippine Music Industry. Their songs are on MYX, MTV and several music television channels. Their songs are also among of the most played on radio. But did you know how Sponge Cola came to be?
Here’s their story that you might want to read:
Between 1998 to 2002, Ysmael “Yael” Yuzon and Reynaldo “Gosh” Dilay, both from Ateneo de Manila University – High School, met through the school’s theater guild, Teatro Baguntao. Yael Yuzon was then the frontman of a hard rock/metal band called White Chapel. Nevertheless, he decided to form a band with Gosh and two other members of the theater guild. They named the group Sponge after R.S. Surtee’s Mr. Sponge Sporting Tour.
The band won in several high school competitions boosting their popularity not just in their school but in other campuses, as well. Some members of the old lineup left and were replaced by Christopher “Chris” Cantada and Erwin “Armo” Armovit. The latter is the guitarist of another band Rampqueen, which was managed also by Sponge’s manager Raymond Fabul. Later however, they learned about 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,” according to Yael. “So we decided to add ‘Cola’, since it’s an easy enough word to remember.” Sponge Cola was officially formed in summer of 2002.
