Guess what? “Sensory Overload” was the very first song that the band recorded! Can you believe it? And get this, it was also the first song that Rodney Bingenheimer played on his super cool Rodney on the Roq weekend show on KROQ. The Circle Jerks were in the studio and they brought Bad Religion’s demo tape. But here’s the funny part, Rodney mistakenly called it “Century Overload” and they still call it that to this day. How hilarious is that?
