Sponge is a band that broke onto the alt rock scene in 1994 with their debut album Rotting Piñata. That album spawned two semi hits in the form of “Plowed” and “Molly (Sixteen Candles).” Their next album Wax Ecstatic came out in 1996 and saw some success, but was somewhat overlooked. Wax Ecstatic would be the band’s last album to be released on Sony, and without the marketing push from a major label, their three subsequent albums have gone all but unnoticed. Perhaps the band would fare better if all that happened today, but the internet wasn’t what it is now back then. The band is still around and making music and just released a new record at the end of 2007. But right now you can rock out to this somewhat forgotten gem from the mid 90s. Sponge - "Wax Ecstatic"
