Our Take

Ah, SPONGE Demoed In Detroit 1997-98, what a blast from the past! This album takes us back to a time when flannel shirts and grunge were all the rage, and this band was at the forefront of the alt-rock scene in Detroit.

From the moment you press play, you're hit with a wave of 90s nostalgia. The raw energy and angsty lyrics of tracks like "Molly (Sixteen Candles)" and "Wax Ecstatic" transport you back to a time when MTV still played music videos and Kurt Cobain was king.

The band's signature gritty guitar riffs and raspy vocals are on full display throughout the album, showcasing their unique blend of punk, grunge, and alternative rock. Each track is a snapshot of a band on the cusp of stardom, brimming with passion and potential.

But it's not all roses and rainbows. Some tracks fall flat, with repetitive hooks and lacklustre instrumentation. It's clear that SPONGE were still finding their footing during this time, experimenting with different sounds and styles.

Overall, SPONGE Demoed In Detroit 1997-98 is a captivating glimpse into the early days of a band that would go on to make a lasting impact on the music industry. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to their music, this album is definitely worth a listen. Just don't blame us if you suddenly find yourself craving flannel shirts and Doc Martens.
