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.

If you’ve listened to this show for any length of time, you know I have perennial songs. Some I play once a year, some I’ll play every few years. The closer this week is a semi-perennial and has a message that remains relevant, sadly enough. Heaven 17 were singing about a fascist groove thang that was aimed towards Reagan in 1981. 45 years later, it applies to the orange turd living at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., as well as Mar-A-Lago. Same shit now as it was then.
