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 22, 2026

No real agenda this week—just wait until next week. As the 250th anniversary of this country approaches, I’m putting together one hell of a Salute To America. In recent years, I’ve only done it for part of the show but it’ll be two hours of patriotic music next week. Perfect for your picnics and celebrations.
