Sponge: Rock Band in New York

About Sponge

Sponge is a Detroit rock band that emerged in the early 1990s around vocalist Vinnie Dombroski, with roots in the members’ earlier hard-rock work. Their catalogue spans ten studio albums alongside live and archival releases, and it includes radio-charting singles such as “Plowed,” “Molly,” “Wax Ecstatic,” and “Have You Seen Mary.” Often framed within grunge and post-grunge, the group tends to favor direct riffs and plainspoken hooks over studio gloss. In the New York area, Sponge appears at Starland Ballroom on bills such as Candlebox with Sponge.
