WHAT IT IS: For their recently released, full-length debut, Sponge Fingerz, the Southern California four-piece combines sunny surf rock with elements of hip-hop, garage pop and West Coast punk, tossing it all in a blender to cook up a colorful mash-up they call “G-Punk.” The set was co-produced by Matt Wallace (Faith No More, Maroon 5) mixed by Tony Hoffer (Foster the People, Beck) and was recorded at L.A.’s legendary Sound City Studios. For the past two years, the band has been touring across the country, playing everywhere from local frat parties and bars to shows with blink-182, Mod Sun and New Politics. They’re currently on tour with American Authors, and their cover of Rae Sremmurd’s hit, “No Type,” is quickly becoming a fan favorite.
