(S3E8) – Cabfighter

Sometimes an album and/or a band sneaks up on you. A band that has an air of mystery about them, or one that creates something that you are so enthralled with you just need to know all about it.  This is how I feel about the January release, The Sea Between Stars, from Portland’s Cabfighter. So for this episode of Rich & Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E8), Barry, Logan, and Shasta join the show to talk about all things Cabfighter, that amazing new record, and so much more.  Please listen past some of our technical issues, because Cabfighter and The Sea Between Stars needs to be seen and heard.

(S3E7) – Gravehuffer

Sometimes I need to scratch that crossover thrash crust punk itch, and the way I do it is by listening to all of the killer stuff from the band on the latest episode of the Rich & Turbo Heavy Half Hour (S3E7), Gravehuffer! Ritchie Randall joins the show to discuss all things Gravehuffer, including the progress on the new record, taking the band out on the road, where all their killer music comes from, the band’s history, and so much more. Ritchie is great, and if you need a soundtrack to forgetting all your troubles and ripping it up, Gravehuffer is for you.  Check it out!

Florist (WITH A HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!)

EXCLUSIVE!!!

The listeners of the show know how much I love the Tampa, FL band Florist, of which I regularly change their name to “Rich’s New Favorite Band, Florist”.  I love the latest record from the guys, Adrift, which was my number one album for 2025. Now, we hear what’s next for the band, as Frankie, Mike, Kevin, and Jer have a huge announcement as to what 2026 will bring for Florist, on this latest episode of Rich & Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E6).  I am so excited for the guys and for our listeners to hear what’s next for this killer band and these amazing humans. Please check out Florist and enjoy our chat.

(S3E5) – Kal-El (Vol. 2)

 

On this episode of The Rich & Turbo Heavy Half Hour (S3E5), we celebrate with Ståle and Bjørn from Kal-El their landing at the number one spot on the Doom Charts 2025 Top 100 list! Their amazing record, Astral Voyager Vol. 1, took that top spot and it could not be more deserving. They, and we, don’t stop there; on March 20th, 2026 Astral Voyager Vol. 2 drops, via Blues Funeral in the States and Majestic Mountain world wide. We discussed the new record and a whole lot more. It was an honor to have one of my favorite bands on the show the first time we chatted, and even more now that they came back.  The boys are on their way to the top of the charts for 2026 given how killer Volume 2 is, so go pre order it and then listen to our interview!
