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.
I’m proud to announce that there’s now
a live version of Sonic Overload every Wednesday from 6-8 PM Eastern time on Stench Radio.
All of the shows from January 2009 to
the present are archived for download at sonicoverload.blogspot.com.
And check out the Facebook page.
Send any music (vinyl or CD) for
possible airplay to:

JULY 14, 2014
Erdelyi Tamas, who was known to
the world as Tommy Ramone, passed away last week at
the age of 65, the last living member of the original Ramones lineup. While
listening to the six Ramones songs that start the show (as well as the closing
song, “53rd and 3rd,” which has long been my favorite Ramones song), it’s
striking how this music was once considered extreme but now sounds quite
accessible. Thing was the Ramones were always
accessible to the musically-adventurous, those who were sick of the excess and
pomp of 70s music and wanted to get back to basics. The Ramones were never my
favorite band although I did become a lifelong fan from the first time I heard “Beat
On The Brat.” R.I.P. Tommy.
