Rich & Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour

(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...

(S3E39) – Irata

A very cool thing happened the other day.  I received an email from the band Irata, just thanking me for mentioning the band and wearing their shirt on the show. First off, I love Irata. Second, thank you Irata for being awesome, not only for reaching out unsolicited but for all the great music they have put out in their career. Obviously I proceeded to ask them to come on the show. This was before the an...

(S3E38) – Okay You Win

Jadd at Blues Funeral gets it. When he hears something he likes, he doesn’t hesitate to do all he can to get the band into the ears of the people who will love it. This is the case with one of the newest signings to the label, Okay You Win, out of London, England. These guys are no overnight sensations; they have been putting in the work in the scene for decades in various forms, but we now all ge...

(S3E37) – Soft Curse

Gloom Metal? Emo Doom? Give it whatever name you want, but the debut record, Liminal Ritual, from Santa Rosa, California’s Soft Curse, can only be described as awesome. On this episode of  Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E37), we talk to Jonny Andrew, singer and guitarist from the new band that is bringing their hardcore backgrounds to a more traditional doom sound, and let me tell yo...

(S3E36) – The Crooked Skulls

Straight out of Jersey and filled with riffs comes The Crooked Skulls, who join us on this episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E36). The trio dropped their debut record, Midnight Sun, back in March and scored a place on that month’s Doom Charts, and rightfully so. The guys discuss the new record and a whole lot more. The interview went a bit sideways (you will see what I mea...

(S3E35) – Ol’ Time Moonshine

There are so many great Heavy Underground Canadian bands out there today, and so many of them are on black Throne Productions. A band that is both of these things is Toronto’s Ol’ Time Moonshine, and on this episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E35) we were lucky enough to have Bill and Chris from the band join us to talk about their amazing new record, Now I Blee...

(S3E34) - Wailin Storms

Back in 2020 when I was starting to get back into the heavy underground music scene, one record that stood out that dragged me back in was Rattle, by North Carolina’s Wailin Storms. I was hooked and have been a big fan ever since. Which is why it is such an honor to have the full band join Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E34) to talk about their amazing new record, The Arsonist, dropping on J...

(S3E33) – Slow Goat

On the latest episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E33), we are back in Portland, Oregon, where the scene is booming and where this episode's guests reside, the mighty Slow Goat! I have been bugging Rosie to come back on the show for a while now, and we not only have her talking about their upcoming new record, Where the Wisest Fear to Tread, which is dropping on July 10, we get the whole b...

(S3E32) – Broadslab

On the latest episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E32), Raleigh, NC rockers Broadslab join the show! The Southern Soul Metal band are releasing their first record in 12 years on June 26th, titled The Fifth Essence, and having heard it (multiple times already) I can say it was very worth the wait. We were lucky enough to have five members of the band join us to talk about The Fifth Essence ...

(S3E31) – Seum

The band that landed at lucky number 13 on April’s Doom Charts list is our guest on the latest episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E31), as the guys from the Montreal based Doom 'n' Bass trio Seum join the show. Seum just dropped their killer new record, Parking Life, via Black Throne Productions (go preorder now!!!), and it is an amazing step forward for the unique sound of the band. We ...

(S3E30) – Caustic Casanova

Back in 2023 Washington DC band dropped an amazing album of the year candidate, Glass Enclosed Nerve Center, and not soon after went on hiatus. As a huge fan I was bummed, but sometimes life happens. So you could understand how excited I was when the CC Instagram account was fired up again and mentioned the band doing a show and that new material was on the way, I immediately hit up main songwriter ...

(S3E29) – GOZU

There are some bands that just have something special, that "it” factor that stands out amongst the crowd.  On this episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E29), we have one of those bands (and one of my favorites), as GOZU joins the show! Doug Sherman and Marc Gaffney join to talk about GOZU VI, the new record that drops on May 15, 2026 and of course it is amazing. We talk about VI, the...
