Rich & Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour

(S3E28) – Cannabus
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. We discuss how the new record came to be, about the band history, what Busch Rock is, and so much more. The preorder for the vinyl is up though the amazing Black Throne Productions (HERE) in two pretty amazing variants, so go buy one now, because Ride The Bus is a must listen, top tier release for 2026. 

(S3E27) – HUFR Fest!!!
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. Come check out our chat about it and if you can, get your ass to Denver because the inaugural HUFR Fest is going to be the start of something huge.

(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. 

(S3E24) – Bronco Forte
On the latest episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E24) Los Angeles band Bronco Forte joins the show! 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.

(S3E23) – Q1 2026 Review w/ Rob In The ‘Hood
Our friend Rob In The ‘Hood returns to the show on the latest episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E23) to recap an amazing start of 2026 with our Q1 review. We count down our top 12 releases so far this year in our usual ragtag way.  Check it out!!!

(S3E22) – Mister Earthbound
On the latest episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E22) we have Jason and Walt from the Richmond, Virginia bluesy swamp rockers Mister Earthbound join the show! The band just recently dropped their latest EP, Ostara, which is the first of a series of four seasonal inspired EPs that we discuss in our chat, as well as a bunch of other stuff, including Turbo coining a new genre. Check out Mister Earthbound if you have not, then come back and check out our interview!!!

(S3E21) – Elder
I am so excited that we were able to get Nick DiSalvo, main man of one of the greatest bands on earth, Elder, to join the show on the day they announce the preorder and drop the first single from album number seven, Through Zero, via Blues Funeral Recordings.  Come listen to Nick tell us all about it and so much more. PEOPLE, NICK FROM ELDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(S3E20) – Mos Generator (Tony Reed Returns!)
We have been so lucky to have so many amazing guests on this show, but the fact that I can say that the legend himself, Tony Reed, is making his third appearance on this episode of the Rich & Turbo Heavy Half Hour (S3E20), is amazing. This time, we focus on and deep dive into his amazing band, Mos Generator, from its origin to the latest and even future releases. We cover all sorts of other stuff too and even break a bunch of news around the other killer projects he is associated with. Tony is the best, so please check it out. Thank you Tony Reed and thank you to everyone who listens.

(S3E19) – Witch Ripper
There are a bunch of great records dropping on April 10, 2026, but the one that may wind up being my favorite is album number three from Seattle’s metal/prog/sludge juggernaut Witch Ripper! So we here at Rich & Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour are pumped to have band founder/guitarist/vocalist Curtis Parker join the show (S3E19)! We talk all about said new album, titled Through The Hourglass, brought to us by Magnetic Eye Records (preorder here) that continues the storyline started on their last record, The Flight After The Fall, that was high up on 2023’s year end list. We talk about details of the new one, how the band writes, why the Mastodon comparison is fair, but lazy, and we get all sorts of proggy. Curtis was great, the new record rules, and our chat was so much fun. Please check it out, and if you would, please subscribe to the channel!
