Gas Station Robber is an American unsigned indie band, consisting of Chris Holbrook and Craig Conard, who decided to continue as a duo, after their previous band discontinued. With The Hydra they completed their first album Out of This Place.
The title of the eleventh and final song of the album refers to the multi headed monster the Lernaean Hydra, which guarded the port to the underworld, until it was defeated by Hercules. The drama of this almost impossible to win battle has been masterful interpreted in this song. Probably just a little bit by the lyrics, but in a multitude by the musical composition.

The song starts with a somewhat sinister rock organ that immediately builds up to the right tension. In the verses the singing is gentle and self-possessed, but throughout the song there are subtile changes of rhythms, making the song progress to a strong climax. A chorus follows both the first verse and the bridge, where it also ends the 5:03 minutes lasting song. To me personally, it's the emphasized singing in first and second voice in this chorus, that forms the real highlight of the song.

The album of Gas Station Robber can be downloaded (freely) at both The Sixtyone and their official website.
