**Air-Sea Dolphin** is an American indie pop band from Athens, Georgia. The band's line-up consists of Robert Schneider of The Apples in Stereo, Ryan Sterritt, James Huggins, and Matt and Mike Chapman (The Brothers Chaps) of Homestar Runner fame.

## Background

Matt and Mike Chapman, Ryan Sterritt, and James Huggins all have ties with the cult web series Homestar Runner. Mike Chapman is the co-creator of the character Homestar Runner (along with friend Craig Zobel) in 1996, which in turn was based off a riff ("Home star runner for the Braves") from Huggins in the early 90s in regards to a Winn-Dixie commercial featuring Atlanta Braves second baseman Mark Lemke. Mike and Matt Chapman helped produce its offshoot web series in 2000, and Sterritt helped with the series' DVD production.

Air-Sea Dolphin formed as part of a 20th Anniversary Homestar Runner concert in 2016. The band originally formed as the live band for sloshy, Homestar Runner's in-universe indie rock/lo-fi parody. On March 5, 2017, Schneider announced the recording of new material from the band via his Facebook page, along with the band's name.

On April 22, 2017, the band released their first 7'' split single on Chunklet Industries with their song "Exploding", backed with the song "Spillman Was a Motorhead" by the band Honey Radar. Air-Sea Dolphin continued to play shows up until their most recent in 2019.
