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.

AUGUST 31, 2026

 

The last day of August and the start of the months of misery. OK, not all miserable but I’m already looking forward to next March. In the meantime, this week has an extra segment of songs for Labor Day and I’ll be taking next week off. I’ll be back on Sept. 14.
