Sonic Overload 5/14/12

Well, I'm hoping this one won't be taken down like the one for 5/7 was, due to some "copyright infringement" bullshit. But if anyone really wants to hear that show, email me at al@sonicoverload.net and I'll see what I can do.

In the meantime, this week's show goes out in memory of Tony Johnson from the Offenders, who recently passed away from cancer. The Offenders are one of the most-underrated US hardcore bands and were an unholy terror live. I'm grateful I got to see them play a couple of times in the 80s.
