(S3E54) – Snake Mountain RevivalSnake 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.

So on this episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E54), we have the band on the show to talk about The Divide, dropping via Ripple

(S2E12) - Back In The Late 1900's w/Jay & Rich: JD PinkusHow 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 the supergroup Gatta Morta that just dropped their amazing new EP.

When I say killer, I mean some of their best work in decades and one of the coolest records of the year by anyone. To catch us up on all things Toadies, bassist Doni Blair joins the

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.

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 please check this out.

(S3E47) – MothertombThe 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 Half Hour (S3E47).

(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 possible. If you have not heard of the band, the closest comparison I would give would

(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’s new record, Cosmic Dawn, that drops today, July 17, and its rules, especially if you

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, that is simply killer.

(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 for this chat, as the band will be releasing their fifth album, Fading Failing Ruin, on

(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 announcement of their new record, titled Human, that drops on July 10th via Small

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 get to hear the fruit of all of their labor in the form of their debut record, End
