There are two artists named Sponge on last.fm:

i) Sponge was an alternative/hard rock band from Detroit, active in the mid to late 90’s. The band blew into the national music scene in 1994 with their debut album Rotting Piñata, which featured possibly their biggest hits in Plowed and Molly (16 Candles). Their highly anticipated follow up album was released in 1996 and did not disappoint fans, as it contained the smash title track Wax Ecstatic and well known tune Have You Seen Mary.

ii) Sponge is also a 90’s Japanese noise supergroup. Though the members are credited anonymously, the group reportedly includes:

Jojo Hiroshige (of Hijokaidan)
Junko Hiroshige (also of Hijokaidan)
Masami Akita (better known as Merzbow)
Yamazaki Takushi (better known as Masonna)

The Japanese Sponge have released at least two official albums, a 7” and a CD on T.E.C. Tones.

lucky13sf... if you scroll up and read the BIO you'll see that this is NOT 80s... 1994 is not 80s.

I remember seeing them at Summer Celebration in Muskegon, MI years ago... so good. And my ex is pretty sure that then he worked at Barnes & Noble in Muskegon, Vinnie came in before they played a show and complained, What is there to do out here!? I've snuck into the movies 5 times already!

It's funny how misspelled songs from Rotting Pinata and Wax Ecstatic is on the top tracks while songs from the other 3 albums (after Pinata/Wax) isn't at all.
