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.

NOVEMBER 2, 2026
Doug Moody
from Mystic Records passed away last week at the age of 98. Mystic used to send
me tons of records in the 1980s, most of it thrashy hardcore and that takes up
the bulk of songs in the tribute I do for the final segment. But it wasn’t only
that type of music. And before the label, Mystic was a studio and some of the bands
he recorded certainly didn’t fall into the punk category. The last song is
pretty far-removed from all of that—a 1970 recording with Lord Sutch, where he
was joined by members of Led Zeppelin, Jeff Beck Group and the Jimi Hendrix
Experience and that ends this week’s show.
Definitely an
emphasis on the loud/fast stuff this week. Sometimes you need that.
