How Did Sponge Cola Get Their Band Name?<br/><br/>'Sponge' plus 'Cola'? What's that supposed to mean? Well, Sponge Cola frontman, Yael Yuzon is letting you in on that secret.<br/><br/>They say coming up with a band name can be difficult and frustrating to some artists, which can be surprising given the fact that there's always a wordsmith or two in the group. Perhaps inspiration really plays a huge role; prompting artists to be patient and wait for something that really represents their sound.<br/><br/>Yael and his friends did come up with a name that resonates with their music. Nope, they didn't just flip open a dictionary and try to intentionally misspell a word. But you could say they were able to keep it simple yet enigmatic and there's a couple of cultural references to thank for. For more about the backstory check out this part 3 of the interview with one of the country's premiere OPM rock band. (Sponge Cola seems to be enjoying sharing stories with their fans these days.)<br/><br/>About Sponge Cola<br/><br/>Members: Yael Yuzon (lead vocals, guitars); Gosh Dilay (bass guitar, backing vocals); Erwin Armovit (lead guitar, backing vocals); Tedmark Cruz(drums, percussion, backing vocals<br/><br/>Filipino pop/rock band Sponge Cola has been consistent in powering, romancing, and inspiring their native Philippines with a stellar collection of original and certified hit songs culled from an impressive catalogue of award-winning and critically acclaimed full-length albums.<br/><br/>From what started out as a high school class project, the group has grown into one of the Philippines’ premier bands, entertaining audiences both locally and internationally, and becoming staples in the country’s entertainment industry.<br/><br/>Some of the band’s hits include: Gemini, Di na Mababawi, Jeepney, Tuliro, Bitiw, Kay Tagal Kitang Hinintay, Puso, Makapiling Ka, Iyong-iyong-iyo, Coda, among many others.<br/><br/>2020 marked the band's homecoming to Sony Music Entertainment, releasing Lumipas ang Tag-Araw in July and Siguro Nga - inspired by the popular KDrama Start-Up - in December.
