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.

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.
