Welcome to the webpage for Sonic Overload. As my regular listeners know by now, I play punk, hardcore, garage and other loud music, although there are surprises from time to time as well as decidedly slanted commentary on the “issues of the day” and that’s also presented through song selections and audio clips.

Recent shows can be streamed or downloaded from the archive at sonicoverload.blogspot.com. And check out the Facebook page.

APRIL 21, 2025

Back after a week off (which I really needed). I don’t really have anything profound to say. I will note that my personal life has been tumultous in recent months, but things are finally starting to improve. And doing this show every week provides a respite for anything else complicating things.
