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

 

 

JULY 20, 2026

 

I dedicated last week’s show to my friend Jeff Cohen and yesterday was his funeral. I still have an emotional hangover but that was helped a bit by seeing the Varukers last night, so they obviously end up on the playlist. And the Girls’ song I play this week is in his memory. I don’t think my friend Jeff would have liked the song all that much, but it’s the best way for me to do it.
