(S2E89) – Rattlesnake Venom Trip
On the latest episode of the Rich & Turbo Heavy Half Hour, we have Kevin Schindel and Shane Shook from the Dayton, Ohio heavy rock dealers Rattlesnake Venom Trip join the show. The guys sat down with Rich to discuss their upcoming EP, Eclipse The Sun, and their 2022 full length, Dead Empire, that if you missed you need to go grab ASAP. We also talk about influences, origins, what’s next, and everything else about the band. Rich’s terrible interview prep means he had no idea the hardcore band the guys were in back in the day that he was a big fan of, so you can watch him as this reveal happens in real time.  Since the band is from Dayton, of course Guided By Voices questions were asked as well.  Check out Rattlesnake Venom Trip…huge things to come from these guys!!!

After speaking with Kaleb Riser of Toledo, Ohio’s Black Moon Cult on the latest episode of Rich & Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S2E86), my faith that rock and roll is not dead and will continue on with the next generation has been restored. Kaleb came on the show to discuss BMC’s debut record, Ophidian Future (The Children of Yig), brought to us via Black Doomba Records. The dude knows more about rock music than people twice his age and we had so much fun chatting about every generation of rock we could make it a recurring segment.  Please check out our chat and do not miss the debut record from Black Moon Cult.

(S2E85) – Obsidian Sea
I was recently asked to list my five favorite active heavy underground bands. After a long internal debate, the band on the latest episode of Rich & Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S2E85), София, Bulgaria’s Obsidian Sea, was featured prominently on that list. If you don’t know these guys you should, as their last record, 2022’s Pathos, brought to us from Ripple Music, was pretty much perfect. So, I thought what better to have one of my favorite bands on the show to spread the word on how great they are and what they are currently up to. Please go grab their stuff, especially the last to releases on Ripple, then come back and check out our chat
