In preparation for a very special GeekDad event, we here at HipTrax would like to present to you another delightful Halloween-themed podcast. This one is musically centered on everyone's favorite shambling flesh-eaters.
You do realize I mean zombies, right?
Scream in terror at the rotten facades of:
"You'll Always Be My Zombie Friend" by Starla
Not only is Starla's zombie friend wholly nonthreatening, he's also apparently a big fan of frenetic dance beats and crazy, pitch-corrected vocals. You know what? Maybe we've been over-thinking this whole zombie thing. They don’t want our brains – just a solid DJ and reasonably-priced drinks.
"Quick and the Dead" by Death*Star
Nerdcore duo Death*Star puts an interesting spin on the zombie narrative in the track "Quick and the Dead" from their debut full-length The Fandom Menace. Not only do they switch lyrical perspective from the survivors to the ravenous horde on the last verse, they also manage to inject a classic sing-along chorus. Good show, gentlemen!
"Zombie Apocalypse" by Kirby Krackle
Seattle's Kirby Krackle write songs about things that really matter. They touch on important subjects like – video games and the world's worst superhero team. And also zombies. This fine selection from their debut album was recently interpreted as a delightfully macabre music video.

The HipTrax theme song was created by the walking corpse known as Snake Eyes.
