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.

Legal
Weapon might be one of the most-underrated US punk bands of all time. Not
everything they did was great but their Death
of Innocence is an incredible album and I’ve played songs from the album
frequently over the years. As I was recording the show, I found out their
vocalist Kat Arthur has passed away. I played one song from that album and may
play another song or two next week. I’d liked some of the songs I heard in ’82 but
when I saw them in ’83, they really kicked ass and basically blew the Circle
Jerks off the stage.
This
week’s show also goes out in memory of Urban Waste vocalist Kenny Ahrens, who
was killed in an accident last week.
