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.

OCTOBER 5, 2026

 

Part of one set is “ripped from the headlines,” as they say. It’s hard to miss the point of what I’m trying to put across over the last four songs during the third segment. Let’s just hope that the “Cornell 7” are made to pay for their crimes (if convicted, of course) in all ways possible. And all of the rape apologists out there show that we have a long way to go.
