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.

Send any music (vinyl or CD) for possible airplay to:

It’s the 45th anniversary of the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan by John Hinckley, Jr so, of course, I have to play a certain song. And it shows how relative things are. Reagan was an abysmal president but that era looks nearly quaint by comparison. It just shows how far we’ve gone off the rails. So it’s time for some music that goes off the rails but in a good way…
