(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 great video for the first single, Banacek, wrestling, how the band comes up with all the great names for their songs, their upcoming tour with Restless Spirit, and so much more. Doug and Marc were such a pleasure and so great on the show, come listen, and also go preorder GOZU VI, a definitive AOTY candidate.

On this episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E28), James, Ethan, and Brandon from the fuzzy, heavy psych trio Cannabus join the show! Our main topic of our discussion is their debut record, Ride The Bus, that drops on July 3rd and that is a for sure AOTY contender.

I am so excited for Sean Brooks, Andrea Thomas-Brooks, and Zeth Pedulla as their vision for the first annual HUFR Fest comes to realization on April 24–26, 2026 at Bar 404 in Denver, Colorado. 17 amazing bands over 3 killer nights, I am so proud of what the team has accomplished to pull this off for their first ever festival.

(S3E26) – Restless Spirit
I love Restless Spirit for lots of reasons, not just because they are from my birthplace of Long Island, but it sure makes it even more fun when we chat with Paul Aloisio about all things RS like we do on the latest episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E26). The new self titled Restless Spirit record drops on May 8th via Magnetic Eye and dare I say it is their best yet. Paul gives us the skinny on the new record and so much more, all with a beautiful Long Island backyard backdrop. If you have not preordered the new record, go do that, then come and listen to our discussion.  Restless Spirit rules…

(S3E25) – Abrams
We have had Zach Amster from the Denver, Colorado band Abrams on the show before for a lot of reasons, but mostly because his band rules and he is a great guy to chat about music with. So, we would have him on any time really, but for the latest episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E25) Zach joins us to talk about Abrams new album, Loon, that drops on April 17th via Blues Funeral Recordings (if you're not a PostWax member you should really change that ASAP), and of course you know it is amazing. Turbo calls it the band’s “breakout record” and I sure can’t disagree with that. We cover all the stuff about Loon and so much more.  Zach is great, Abrams rules, Loon is an AOTY candidate, so yeah, you should probably check out our chat.

Chris, Jen and Sako spent time with us to discuss their debut full length album, Lightning Scars, which dropped on April 3rd and whoa boy is it killer. We talk about the new record, how it differs from their 2023 EP, the recording and mixing process, where the band draws influence from, and CATS!!! Go check out Lightning Scars then come back and listen to our chat with Bronco Forte.
