Rich & Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour

(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!

(S3E4) – Jack Harlon & The Dead Crows

On this episode of The Rich & Turbo Heavy Half Hour (S3E4), we have the honor of having Tim Coutts-Smith, the mastermind behind the amazing Australian band Jack Harlon & The Dead Crows, join us all the way from Melbourne. Tim and the band have a killer new record dropping on February 6th via Magnetic Eye titled Inexorable Opposites and it is their best work yet. We discuss the new record, the blurring line between Tim and Jack, being a band in Australia, why this record sounds different from their past work,  and how his work in the mental health field helped sculpt the new songs.  I can’t wait for people to hear the new record and for you all to check out our interview.

(S3E3) – Hot Ram

On this episode of The Rich & Turbo Heavy Half Hour (S3E3), we speak to Billy Konkel from the Atlanta heavy-as-hell power trio Hot Ram, who will be releasing their first new music in 5 years in the form of the EP Near Fall, which is dropping on Jan. 30th and is killer stuff. We talk about the new music as well as the band history, the meaning behind the new EP title, how Hot Ram’s sound has evolved, chat about wrestling a bit, and we even get our first Madonna story. Go pre-order Near Fall on glorious gold vinyl then come listen to our discussion.

(S3E2) – Dune Aurora

On this episode of The Rich & Turbo Heavy Half Hour (S3E2), we speak to the Turin, Italy trio Dune Aurora! The band recently dropped their first full-length, Ice Age Desert, late last year via Argonauta Records and it is some killer stuff. Ginny, Serena, and Roberta joined us to talk about that new record, the history of the band, touring, influences, harmonies, and so much more. The record is great, so please go check it out then come listen to the interview!!!

Rich & Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E1) – Fest Chat w/ S. Patrick Brooks, Jason Doome, and Braun Dabney

Season Three kicks off with a bang, as we have three folks crazy enough to have and/or are currently curating a Heavy Underground live festival. I am fascinated by this topic, so I thought why not bring on some peeps who are right in the thick of it. First, we have Jason Doome, who will be presenting the third edition of Grand Rapids Doom Fest in 2026, with details to be released soon. We also have Braun Dabney, who will also be presenting the third edition of his fest, Legalize Lex, April 17 & 18 of 2026, with another killer lineup that keeps making this a must attend event. Finally, the new guy, S. Patrick Brooks, who will debut HUFR Fest in Denver April 24-26 with an amazing set of bands. This chat was informative, crazy, off the rails, and at times hilarious, so you get it all in Episode 1 of Season 3.  Please check it out and buy tickets to these amazing events. Support local music and buy physical merch so these guys and the bands keep doing their thing.
