Sponge has proven to be one of the Motor City's heaviest hitters after gaining international notoriety with their debut album 'Rotting Piñata' (Sony). Emerging from Detroit with hits like 'Plowed' and 'Molly (16 Candles)' Sponge received massive airplay on radio stations from coast to coast and were in heavy rotation on MTV. Both Plowed and Molly hit #5 on Billboard's Modern Rock Charts, catapulting 'Rotting Piñata' to Gold, and ultimately Platinum status. Stop the Bleeding incorporates the traditional 'Sponge sound' in addition to exploring edgier, industrial grooves, most apparent on the band's twisted cover of 'Time in a Bottle.' Sponge is poised to bring it's potent brand of Detroit rock to the masses, once again proving that rock never stops.
