"Always go for the better name" is what Gene Simmons told guitarist Erik Kluiber backstage at DTE in 2004. That advice helped the band decide what they were going to call themselves and that name was.......... OVERLOADED!

Unconventional, uncompromising, and pure, Overloaded is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The band was formed in 2004 with musicians Chris Gillen – vocals, Erik Kluiber – lead guitar, John Sullens – rhythm guitar, Michael Massie – bass, Lorenzo Gonzalez – drums. Overloaded’s first 2 eps Hail the Kingdom and Hellfire both sold out and have become collector’s items going for as much as $30 on amazon.com. The 2 eps were repackaged in early 2006 as a single full length simply entitled “Overloaded.”

After what seemed like a bazillion shows opening for such acts as Alter Bridge, Godsmack, Hellyeah, Dope, Skid Row, Slaughter and countless others, Overloaded released yet another full length cd entitled “Regeneration” in late 2007. After another array of crazy shows and even crazier parties, Overloaded decided to take a much needed break so each member could explore some personal musical endeavors.

On to 2010 - Overloaded has returned and are currently locked away in the rehearsal studio writing songs that will inspire nights of blowing money, endless drinking, crazy sex and showing once again that it's not just about the glitz and the fame, it's about throwing your fist in the air and banging your head until it falls off!

WE’RE BACK DETROIT! GET READY FOR AN ONSLAUGHT!
