Sonic  overload

 

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.

MARCH 18 2024

 

24 years of Sonic Overload and a 50 year span of music, going back in ten year intervals to 1974. Proving that there’s great music in any decade and I’ve never been one of those people slavish to one era. Sure, the music of my formative years in the 70s and early 80s carry more weight than everything else, but I’m still on a never-ending quest to find something new to enjoy or something I might have missed in the past.

 

As many of you know, Sonic Overload started as Inflammable Material on Allston-Brighton Free Radio on March 13, 2000 and, after the station closed in 2005, I began doing it from home. As always, thanks to the A-B Free crew, including Steve Provizer, Frank Bordonaro and Seth Albaum and everyone else I shared the studio with.  And thanks to everyone checking out this noise each week.
