Grunge/alt-metal (grungemetal anyone?) from Göteborg/Gothenburg (NOT Scandinavian/Gothenburg metal, despite of location)
Some kind of rock/pop/grunge/funk/alt-metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden. Fungus is music for fans of dual distorted guitars (as well as clean guitars, for Nirvana-esque stop-start dynamics), screamed melodies (because that's how I sound best), powerful yet dynamic drumming and bass that is allowed to take a lot och space (watch out for Robin's occasional Claypoolisms) without overshadowing catchy songs, of which many would do pretty well as acoustic versions (give us an acoustic gig and we'll even do an acoustic version of Valentine if you like). Don't read this, listen to the songs instead! Will do weddings, birthday parties, bar/bat mitzwahs, etc.

Story behind the song
Heavily inspired by Tim Burton's "The melancholy death of Oyster Boy and other stories", this song take the 3rd person storytelling from "the Void" one step further, telling the story of a fictious character named "Spongeboy". Spongeboy is a pathetic character who never seem to amount to anything. ("His parents had tried for a long long time, all they got was him") All his life he keep on trying to find happiness but he is a born loser. In his teens, he meets a girl (a porcupine to be specific) and since he's never experienced such happiness before, he absorbs it like...well a sponge. Unfortunately, she rejects him and though he doesn't have much of a will to live left, life doesn't even seem to offer him the relief of death. (A least not until he reaches the age of 27, joining Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain and the other's in the age 27-club)
Lyrics
He was born deaf dumb and blind even from the start he was nothing His parents had tried for a long long time all they got was him Spongeboy have been dry most of his little life Spongeboy wants to die his life, he don't like Spongeboy have been dry for years until in his teens he got to taste the water he was happy and sucked, every drop Spongeboy have been dry most of his little life Spongeboy wants to die his life, he don't like Once he met a little porcupine girl she really made his sponge heart whirl This little critter he liked he's still stuck on her spikes Spongeboy have been dry most of his little life Spongeboy wants to die his life, he don't like Spongeboy is still alive Spongeboy will never die He will just keep on living trough his pains no matter if he never even tried Spongeboy have been dry most of his little life Spongeboy wants to die his life, he don't like
