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.

It’s the
Sonic Overload Church of Punk Rock. I’m being facetious but this opening song
was inspired by the religious “revival” in DC yesterday, promoted by your
government (hah!) and hosted by the radical Christian right. I didn’t watch one
second of it so maybe there was love in the air but I seriously doubt it. I
wouldn’t say punk rock is my religion but it brings a lot more joy to my life
than any of that.
