Let me tell you, it is more greatness from a band who is one of the best and most consistent around. We talk all about Imperial Filth, we share our love of Cheap T...

(S3E56) – Shovelhead You may have heard me mention the killer new record from New Jersey trio Shovelhead, titled A Place of Dead Roads, maybe on my Doom Charts list or as part of my top 12 for Q3. What you may not know is that these guys have been around since the mid-90s and had two killer records and an EP from the early 2000s, coming up with bands like Solace and Atomic Bitchwax. After 18 years...

(S2E13) - Back In The Late 1900's w/Jay & Rich: Walter Schreifels (Quicksand, Gorilla Biscuits) When Jay and I think about our favorite and most important musicians in our lifetime, both of us would put Walter Schreifels at the top of our lists. As part of the hardcore legends Gorilla Biscuits and Youth Of Today, to one of the greatest bands of any genre, Quicksand, to his ridiculously underra...

(S3E55) – Quarter 3 Review w/ Rob In The ‘Hood It’s that time again! Special guest host Rob In The ‘Hood joins us to go through our top 12 lists for Q3. It was another amazing quarter of new Heavy Underground music, so lists were agonized over to get down to 12. Come listen and check out what we were digging for the last three months. No spoilers, but we all had different records at the top!

(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...

(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 psy...

(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 coole...

(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.

(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,...

(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 gu...

(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 c...

The event is Saturday, October 10, 2026, starting at 2:00 PM at The Pyramid Scheme in Grand Rapids, Michigan and has become...

(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 a...

(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 t...

(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...

(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 d...

(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...

(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...

(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 f...
