    Are you looking for something a little bit different to fill your music collection? Here is a CD that might be just what you need to liven up your life.

    Living Dead is a modern, gothic rock band. The band consists of Jenifer Schwab on lead vocals, Michel Schwab on guitar, Joel Nowacki on drums, and finally Jason Thompson on bass. The album, named "Pupets" was released in 1997 by Revelation Records out of Indianapolis, Indiana.

    This CD is definitely for you if you like the sound of a heavy guitar, heavy bass, and a good rhythm. The Living Dead also has a lot of other, very interesting sounds to go with.

    Personally, I think this is a pretty good album. It might not be everyone's favorite, but if you like a little bit heavier music, you will probably enjoy the Living Dead.
