My Favorite Band

Jeepney

Bumaba ako sa jeepney
Kung saan tayo'y dating magkatabi
Magkahalik ang pisngi nating dalwa
Nating dalawa

Panyo mo sa aking bulsa
Ang amoy mo'y naroon pa rin
Tawa nati'y humahalay
sa init nating dalawa

Subalit ngayo'y wala na
Ikaw ay lumayo na

Naaalala ko ang mga gabing nakahiga sa ilalim ng kalawakan
Naaalala ko ang mga gabing magkatabi sa ulan

Kulay nang iyong ngiti
Tikwas ng iyong buhok
At ang lambot ng iyong labi
Iyong labi

Kahit anino mo sa malayo
Ay nais masulyapan
Upang mapawi
Ang lamig




































































































Spongecola

Behind the Name "Sponge Cola"

Some of the members of the old lineup left and were replaced by Christopher "Chris" Cantada and Erwin "Armo" Armovit. The latter is the guitarist of Sponge's brother band Rampqueen. Raymond Fabul another batchmate, began to manage both Sponge and Rampqueen. 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 born in summer 2002.During 2004, their songs Lunes and KLSP gained popularity and ended up in most radio stations' charts during that period. Also, Jeepney became popular in the beginning of 2005 along with their own version of Crazy For You. With the uprising of Filipino Rock in the middle of 2005, Sponge Cola gained even more popularity from listeners with their song Gemini and especially the emo-alternative rock song Una. All their singles were able to reach the #1 spot in both Philippines 100 and MYX Hit Chart. Finally, Sponge Cola releases their sophomore album entitled Transit that became gold after three months of release. Bitiw the carrier single even broaden the band's popularity on 2006 and the first quarter of 2007 which their 2nd single Tuliro is now making a noise again.



The band has also contributed on two tribute albums.They covered the 90's hit song by the Eraserheads,"Pare Ko",on Ultraelectromagneticjam and the classic "Nakapagtataka" on the APO Hiking Society tribute,"Kami nAPO Muna".






Gemini

Come a little closer
Flicker in flight
We'll have about an inch's space
But I'm here I can breathe in
What you breathe out

Let me know if I'm doing this right
Let me know if my grip's too tight
Let me know if I can stay all of my life
Let me know if dreams can come true
Let me know if this one's for you

Cause I see it
And I feel it
Right here
And I feel you right here

The vacuous night
Steps aside to give meaning
to Gemini's dreaming
The moon on its back
And the seemingly
Veiled room's lit
By the same star

And I feel it right here
And I feel you right here
