Proof Zombies like Alternative Rock

12/11/04
Austin,Texas-based Aspyr Media, Inc., is set to release Stubbs The Zombie: The Soundtrack on March 15.

The soundtrack compliments the "Stubbs The Zombie" video game, (designed by Alex Seropian, founder of Bungie Studios and Halo). Stubbs the Zombie features all original recordings, as opposed to the licensed music or cheap digital soundtracks most games employ.

The soundtrack features indie bands covering songs from the 50's (The game is set in Punchbowl, Pennsylvania in 1959).

The Raveonettes redo that “My Boyfriend’s Back,” Ben Kweller wants his “Lollipop,” Death Cab For Cutie wishes for an “Earth Angel,” and Clem Snide cries “Tears On My Pillow”). Other bands on the soundtrack include Flaming Lips, the Walkmen, Phantom Planet and Aspyr’s own signing, Milton Mapes. In the game players take on the role of Stubbs, a wisecracking zombie who takes on an ultra-modern city built during the Eisenhower administration to show off the ultra-futuristic technology of the 21st century.

Using nothing but his own carcass and the weapons of his possessed enemies, Stubbs’ search for revenge quickly escalates into a full-throttle quest for justice, redemption and, mmmm, brains. Oh, and it’s a love story, too!
