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.

Buy Me A Coffee

 

 

NOVEMBER 3, 2025

 

This past weekend was one of my least favorite—the end of Daylight Saving Time and the start of 4 PM sunsets.

 

But that’s not the main thing on my mind. This is something a lot more serious—Clif Hanger (Croce) from The Freeze was recently hit by a car and suffered a broken hip that required replacement surgery. He’s still in pretty rough shape so there’s been a GoFundMe set up to defray some of the costs. You can donate at this link. Thanks!
