After a three-year hiatus due to personal issues, on April 19, 2011, Sponge Cola released its second EP, Tambay. It is only available by purchasing three 1.5 Liter Coca-Cola's at supermarkets and exchanging the receipt to a nearby redemption center. The album contains six tracks, the shortest of all albums they had made in years, but Yael says that it will contain newer and catchy tunes that will entice new listeners and as well as their long-time followers.
The first three songs of the album was a precursor to the development of their fourth studio album, Araw Oras Tagpuan, thus the three are also included in the said album, which was released on September 16, 2011.
