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.

Once again, thanks to Mike Foster for having me on his WAYLT? Podcades last weeik. If you missed it live, you can still watch it at  www.youtube.com/@analogattack. I actually learned about some bands/records I hadn’t heard of and a few of those show up on this week’s playlist, starting with Crushed Butler.
