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.

JUNE 1, 2026

Rolling into June with some new records as well as older stuff. I do find it easier to play vinyl but do play MP3s. It’s just a pain in the ass but one of the only ways to keep the show fresh. If you’re seeing this and can give me a break, I go to the post office every day. Hint hint… Thanks to those who do take care of me. It’s much-appreciated.
