Rich & Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour

(S3E54) – Snake Mountain Revival

Snake Mountain Revival is a band that I love, but  I was not sure we were getting a new record after their amazing last one, Everything in Sight, which everyone should check out. Alas, you can understand my excitement when my Ripple Music monthly subscription added The Divide, the new record from the Virginia Beach psych trio. So on this episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (...

(S2E12) - Back In The Late 1900's w/Jay & Rich: JD Pinkus

How cool is it that we had JD Pinkus on Back In The Late 1900's w/Jay & Rich??? I mean he was in the Butthole Surfers during the most classic period, has played in the Melvins, is responsible for one of the most killer records ever with his trio Honky (Balls Out In, IYKYK), has opened for Clutch multiple times playing his killer psych banjo stuff, and is now part of ...

(S3E53) – Hollow Leg (Tampa Doom & Gloom III Preview Show)

In what will be a new series leading up to night one, on this episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E53), we have our first interview previewing the third annual Tampa Doom & Gloom Fest, taking place on November 13 - November 15, 2026, at Deviant Libation, for which this show is very excited to be a sponsor. Orlando, Florida’s dealers of h...

(S2E11) - Back In The Late 1900's w/Jay & Rich: Doni Blair from Toadies

You couldn’t go 20 minutes without hearing Toadies hit Possum Kingdom in 1994 and 1995, but did you know the band is still going strong, even releasing a killer new record, The Charmer, recorded by the late great Steve Albini, just this year? When I say killer, I mean some of their best work in decades and one of the coolest records of the year by any...

(S3E52) – Matt C. White

If you don’t know Matt C. White, you need to, and now you will, because on this episode of Rich & Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E52), we welcome Matt to talk about his new solo album, The Flood, available as we speak via Bandcamp, as well as all of the other cool projects he works on like Certain Death, 95 Bulls, and some other very cool stuff coming very soon. I love all of Matt’s w...

(S3E51) – Auralayer

Back in 2023, this band put out their killer debut, Thousand Petals, that I just loved. Now, the Greenville, South Carolina trio Auralayer is back with full length number two, titled Into The Aura Lair, which takes their awesome version of grunge/stoner/sludge/psych to a whole new level. So on this episode of Rich & Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E51), we welcome Thomas, Jake, and Harold to the show ...

(S3E50) – Planet Desert Rock Preview w/ John Gist

In what is becoming a yearly tradition for the show, for this episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour, we speak with John Gist, mastermind of Planet Desert Rock. We cover all of the bands that will venture to Las Vegas for Planet Desert Rock Weekend VII, happening January 28- 31, 2027 at The Usual Place. Sasquatch! Greenleaf! Mothership! ASG! REZN! Steak! Sergeant Th...

(S2E10) – Back In The Late 1900s w/Jay & Rich: Dug Pinnick from King’s X

One of my top five favorite bands of all time is King’s X, and on this episode Jay and I got to speak with Dug Pinnick for 75 minutes, which is still pretty unbelievable to type. We talk about so much, including some of his amazing side projects and, of course, King’s X. Dug is so great, and this is a bucket list level guest, so ple...

(S3E49) – Heavy Temple & Crystal Spiders

A first for Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E49), as two of our favorite bands join the show. Both Brenna from Crystal Spiders and Nighthawk from Heavy Temple chat with me about a whole bunch of things, but mostly their joint Crystal Temple Tour happening this October, including a stop at our friend Jason Doome’s amazing Grand Rapids Doom Fest. We cover so much grou...

(S3E48) – Jason Doome w/ a Grand Rapids Doom Fest III Preview 

One of my favorite people in the scene joins me for this episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E48), as Jason Doome comes to talk about Grand Rapids Doom Fest III, for which he is the founder and curator. The event is Saturday, October 10, 2026, starting at 2:00 PM at The Pyramid Scheme in Grand Rapids, Michigan and has become a staple in the h...

(S3E47) – Mothertomb

The best part of this show for me is that I get to talk to the bands releasing music today that I love. It is even more fun when I get four music nerds to not only talk about their music, but also the bands that are  important to them as musicians and as people. I get to do this with all four members of the killer band from Michigan, Mothertomb, on the latest episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy H...

(S3E46) – Stay Dead! (Ryan Garney)

It is unbelievable that we have never had Ryan Garney (High Desert Queen, duh) on the show before, but the stars had just never aligned…until now, as the man himself joins to talk about his new project dropping their debut record today, July 24, via Ripple Music, Stay Dead! So, on this episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E46), Ryan tells us all about this very special...

(S3E45) – Morrison Graves

On this episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E45), we have Gary and Ryan from the Portland collective Morrison Graves join the show. I loved their 2022 record, Division Rising, but was not sure if it was a one off or if Morrison Graves was a long term project…their new (and killer) EP, Under the Weight of Gravity, which dropped on July 17th, answers that for us in the best way ...

(S3E44) – Coffin Hunters

One of my favorite things about doing this show is learning about local scenes and other bands I may not have heard of before. When I spoke with Jonny from Soft Curse about the Santa Rosa, CA scene, the first band he mentioned is the band featured on this episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E44), as Brian Crites from Coffin Hunters joins the show.  Brian and I discuss the band&rs...

(S3E43) – Shadow Of Jupiter

July 10th, 2026 has some pretty amazing records dropping, so make sure you do not miss the AOTY candidate from the guests on this episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E43), all four members of Chicago’s Shadow Of Jupiter! We have a lot to talk about, and boy do we talk a lot, but we especially cover that AOTY candidate, Bones, their second record and debut on Ripple Music, tha...

(S3E42) – KITSA

On the eve of one of our favorite bands dropping new music for the first time in over two years, on this episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E42), direct from the studio, Port Orchard, Washington’s KITSA joins the show! The guys are dropping their first single, Avaleigh, on all platforms on July 7th and it will be the first song available from their new record (yes, I said new record!), ...

(S3E41) – Quarter 2 Review w/ Rob in the ‘Hood

It’s that time again! On this episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E41) we have our good friend Rob in the ‘Hood on the show to discuss all the great stuff that came out in the second quarter of 2026 and walk through our top 12 of the quarter lists. Go buy all the records we talk about and let us know where you agree or where we are wrong, but mo...

(S3E40) – Solace

I don’t think I have to come up with any kind of clever introduction for this beloved band that has been at it for the the part of 30 or so years, so instead I will just say on this episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E40), we talk to Tommy Southard and Justin Daniels of the legendary New Jersey band Solace. We have so much fun talking to Tommy and Justin whenever, but we had a reason f...
