Rich & Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour

(S3E12) – Riastrad

On this episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E12), we have all four members of the Portland, Oregon doom band Riastrad join the show to discuss their new, killer, self-titled album that just dropped on February 6th. This is a must listen for all doom fans and for anyone who just loves heavy music, especially with out of this world vocals that Paige Parker delivers on these songs. We talk about the new record, the Portland scene, influences, and all of that good stuff. Paige, Damion, Todd, and Lance are great, so please check out the record then come listen to this!!!

(S3E11) – Hibernaut

On this episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E11), Hibernaut returns to the show, and this time we get all four members. We don’t need any reason to talk to these guys because of how cool they are anyway, but in this case we do, and that is the earthshaking new split album they are releasing with Face Pulp (on the show soon!) via What’s Left Records on March 6th. However, today is Bandcamp Friday, and they just so happen to have some physical versions of the album (vinyl, CD, Taps, Bundles!) ready to preorder right now. SO GO BUY PHYSICAL VERSIONS OF THIS AND ALL THE OTHER BANDS YOU LOVE. Sorry to yell, but I really mean it. We discussed a bunch of other stuff too, including them playing the amazing HUFR Fest (April 24-26, get your tickets now!) The split rules, Hibernaut rules, please check this out.

(S3E10) – Black Lung

On this episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E10), we have Dave Cavalier and Elias Schutzman from Baltimore, Maryland’s Black Lung! The band has a new record dropping on March 6th, 2026 via Magnetic Eye Records titled Forever Beyond, and you really should go pre order it now because it is killer stuff. We talk about how the new record came to be, some of the band’s back story, Rich embarrasses himself with his take on Radiohead but maybe redeems himself a bit with his Beatles input, and guys show they are not shy to share their opinions of the state of the world today.  Listen to the new singles on Forever Beyond then come listen to our discussion.

John Garcia, Dandy Brown, Mike Callahan, David Angstrom, Chris Leathers

All discussing the new live Hermano record, Clisson, France (Live at Hellfest 2016) from Ripple Music, dropping on February 6,  and so much more. 

We are eternally grateful for everyone who took the time to talk with us and those who will listen. Thank you!!!

(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.
