Sonic Overload 6/23/09

I recorded this one a day late, since I spent the previous weekend at the No Way Fest in Richmond, VA. So the show features a whole bunch of new records plus an extremely self-indulgent synth-rock (for want of a better term) set--but they're all great songs. Trust me.

Sonic Overload 6/16/09

I recorded this show a day late and I'm posting it nearly a week late. Sorry 'bout that. I had to attend the funeral of my Uncle George Quint on the 15th and I lovingly dedicate this show to his memory. This show is also in memory of Moving Targets drummer Pat Brady, who passed away earlier this month. Not such a great few weeks...

Sonic Overload 6/1/09

The fifth anniversary of Ronald Reagan's death, so it's noted in Sonic Overload's inimitable, tasteful style! And it ain't just Reagan on the proverbial plate this week--you've got sound concerning Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor and the murder of Dr. George Tiller, who performed abortions (I hate the term "abortion doctor"). Sorry this is late... but I've also uploaded the 6/8 show (as you see above) so you've got four hours of punk rock this week
