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.

Digging out after another big snowstorm—a blizzard, in fact—the show is a day late. After all of the shoveling, plowing etc, I’m happy to have this respite. The opening song is “we’re all doomed.” The idea came from a snow map meme where our region fell under “doomed.” Although that song has more of universal theme, especially these days.
