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.
All of the shows from January 2009 to
the present are archived for download at sonicoverload.blogspot.com.
And check out the Facebook page.

I neglected to put together a tribute for Celibate
Rifles vocalist Damien Lovelock, who passed away a few weeks ago. They’re one
of those bands I had the opportunity to see but never did. File that under the “what
was I thinking?” department. There are some bands that fall into that category—I
didn’t see them because of inertia or having a conflict. Then there are bands
that never make it here, including more underground bands, because there aren’t
places to play up here. I’m talking about the DIY circuit. Everything ebbs and
flows and it’s been a little better lately but I don’t think we’ve ever
completely recovered from the loss of the Boiler Room, Non-Factory and Markus
Basket. Sure, there are good club shows but they’re still lacking something. Ah
well… I really can’t complain too
much…
