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

 

 

MARCH 9 2026

 

So not only are we at war, but some in the military are pushing it as a religious war, making the Subhumans’ song the perfect opener. And while Dear Leader claims that the war in Iran is winding down, he’s talking about reinstituting the draft. So which is it? Or are more war excursions planned?

 

On a happier note, next week is the 26th anniversary show for Sonic Overload. I’m not doing six hours over two shows like I did for the 25th one, but I’ll be looking back over the past 50 or so years of music that I loved and still do.
