Sonic  overload

 

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 downloaded from the archive at sonicoverload.blogspot.com. And check out the Facebook page.

NOVEMBER 27­, 2023

 

This week, it’s the all covers show, which is one of my favorites to put together each year. I try to keep away from songs that hew too close to the original or don’t add much in the way of grit, energy or creativity. Some perennials and a smattering of newer releases and tracks I haven’t played before…
