[spunge]

Spunge (often typeset as [spunge] - lead singer Alex Copeland has joked that the brackets are in the name so that the letters don't fall out.) are a ska punk band from Tewkesbury, England. Through many years of constant touring, Spunge have toured or played alongside with a huge number of moderately successful UK bands and several more famous American bands like Green Day, Dropkick Murphys and being supported on a UK tour by Bowling for Soup; the latter of whom contributed backing vocals to the song "Centerfold" on the That Should Cover It! album.

Spunge are the only band who has ever officially been given permission by the Marley family to change the lyrics of a Bob Marley song, on their cover of "No Woman, No Cry" (this can be found on their second album, Room For Abuse). The permission came from Ziggy Marley, who liked the new version so much when they played it to him live.
