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.

Buy Me A Coffee

 

 

MAY 11, 2026

 

For the second week in a row, I go way back for some older songs to mark some occasions—a 60th anniversary for an album by Paul Revere and The Raiders and milestone birthdays for Eric Burdon and Donovan, all artists I listened to when I was a kid and still occasionally listen to now. Some of the music I listened to when I was (much) younger doesn’t really stand the test of time but there are exceptions. I wonder if songs I played now will still sound as good in the 2060s? Sorry to say, I might not know the answer. Maybe my nephews or grandnephew might check it out.
