Rich & Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour

(S3E57) – Ian Blurton’s Future Now

Canadian underground rock legend Ian Blurton returns to the show (S3E57) to talk about album number three from his band Ian Blurton’s Future Now, titled Imperial Filth, that drops on Friday, Oct. 23rd. Let me tell you, it is more greatness from a band who is one of the best and most consistent around. We talk all about Imperial Filth, we share our love of Cheap Trick and how their influence made it into this record, and determine that we both love Kiss - The Elder. Ian is great, the new record is amazing, and our chat is so much fun. Go buy the record then come listen!

(S3E56) – Shovelhead

You may have heard me mention the killer new record from New Jersey trio Shovelhead, titled A Place of Dead Roads, maybe on my Doom Charts list or as part of my top 12 for Q3. What you may not know is that these guys have been around since the mid-90s and had two killer records and an EP from the early 2000s, coming up with bands like Solace and Atomic Bitchwax. After 18 years or so, the band is now back, with A Place of Dead Roads being that announcement to the world. So on this episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour, Jim and George from the band join to talk about the record, why they are back, the band’s origins, and so much more.  There are some amazing stories told from back in the day, so please check out our chat and buy the new Shovelhead record!

(S2E13) - Back In The Late 1900's w/Jay & Rich: Walter Schreifels (Quicksand, Gorilla Biscuits)

When Jay and I think about our favorite and most important musicians in our lifetime, both of us would put Walter Schreifels at the top of our lists. As part of the hardcore legends Gorilla Biscuits and Youth Of Today, to one of the greatest bands of any genre, Quicksand, to his ridiculously underrated other projects like Rival Schools, Walter’s music has been with us for decades, always being awesome. This continues today with the killer new Quicksand record, Bring On the Psychics, that has Walter and the band sounding as good as they did in the 1990s. We talk about the new album and so much more, as Walter gave us a ton of his time for us to fan boy out. This was an honor and some amazing stuff, please check it out.

(S3E55) – Quarter 3 Review w/ Rob In The ‘Hood

It’s that time again! Special guest host Rob In The ‘Hood joins us to go through our top 12 lists for Q3. It was another amazing quarter of new Heavy Underground music, so lists were agonized over to get down to 12. Come listen and check out what we were digging for the last three months. No spoilers, but we all had different records at the top!

(S3E54) – Snake Mountain Revival

Snake Mountain Revival is a band that I love, but  I was not sure we were getting a new record after their amazing last one, Everything in Sight, which everyone should check out. Alas, you can understand my excitement when my Ripple Music monthly subscription added The Divide, the new record from the Virginia Beach psych trio. So on this episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E54), we have the band on the show to talk about The Divide, dropping via Ripple Music on October 23,2026, and so much more, including the origins of the band and their sound, welcoming their new guitar player, the Virginia Beach scene, and so much more.  The Divide is a dark psych trip that I have listened to a couple dozen times now, so when I say an AOTY contender, I mean it. Go check out the singles from the record, then come listen to our interview.
