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.

Send any music (vinyl or CD) for possible airplay to:

MAY 25, 2026

Another week or day or whatever and another band denied entry to the US for one reason or another. In this case, it was Major Accident, a longtime UK punk band who’ve been here before. They did post and say they tried to fly out via Dublin and, when they were denied, were able to at least go straight home to the UK instead of flying all the way here and being detained. As I’ve said before, it’s a relatively minor issue compared to everything else going on but, since going to punk shows can provide a respite from the insanity, it’s a shame to see that invading our community.
