Having gotten together in 1997 after the breakup of Virginia Creeper, the Revolutionary Hydra have been playing their self-proclaimed brand of "nonchalant rock" to their native of Seattle. With a shuffling lineup that changes at practically every practice, their personnel over the years has included Bart Sharp, Joe Chilcote, Jay Chilcote, Benjamin Gibbard, Pepe, Chris Walla, Allisyn Levy, Robbie Skrocki, and Herbert Berkel. Inspired by Talking Heads, Camper Van Beethoven, and Blonde Redhead, the Hydra have found themselves placed among indie rock mainstays Pavement and Sebadoh upon the release of their 1998 debut split EP with Death Cab for Cutie. Elsinor Records eventually released the Hydra's first full-length, Ratcheting Down the Melancholic Afterbeat, in 1999. Their second album, The Antiphony, came out the following year. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide
