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.

I didn’t
mention it on the show this week but my thoughts are with the residents of LA
currently under assault by the ICE, the National Guard and now the Marines. If
you want to know what fascism looks like, turn on the house. I have to admit I’ve
been keeping it off, for the most part, but have seen enough to know what’s
going on.
One correction—at the top of the show, I mention it’s the 40th anniversary of
the release of Mission Of Burma’s “Academy Fight Song.” It’s actually the 45th,
released in June 1980 and still one of the best 7”s to ever come out of Boston.
