Rich & Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour

(S3E34) - Wailin Storms

Back in 2020 when I was starting to get back into the heavy underground music scene, one record that stood out that dragged me back in was Rattle, by North Carolina’s Wailin Storms. I was hooked and have been a big fan ever since. Which is why it is such an honor to have the full band join Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E34) to talk about their amazing new record, The Arsonist, dropping on July 10, 2026 via Season Of Mist records, of which I cannot stop listening to. We discuss the new record in depth, band history and influences, recording with 90s alt royalty, and a lot more. There are two singles available now, so go check them out, then come listen to my chat with Justin, Ben, Steve, and Mark.

(S3E33) – Slow Goat

On the latest episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E33), we are back in Portland, Oregon, where the scene is booming and where this episode's guests reside, the mighty Slow Goat! I have been bugging Rosie to come back on the show for a while now, and we not only have her talking about their upcoming new record, Where the Wisest Fear to Tread, which is dropping on July 10, we get the whole band. We discuss their legit AOTY candidate new record and how it came to be and so much more.  Go check out the new single and go pre order the vinyl, then please join us for our chat.

(S3E32) – Broadslab

On the latest episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E32), Raleigh, NC rockers Broadslab join the show! The Southern Soul Metal band are releasing their first record in 12 years on June 26th, titled The Fifth Essence, and having heard it (multiple times already) I can say it was very worth the wait. We were lucky enough to have five members of the band join us to talk about The Fifth Essence and so much more, so go check out the first single, then come back and listen to our chat.

(S3E31) – Seum

The band that landed at lucky number 13 on April’s Doom Charts list is our guest on the latest episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E31), as the guys from the Montreal based Doom 'n' Bass trio Seum join the show. Seum just dropped their killer new record, Parking Life, via Black Throne Productions (go preorder now!!!), and it is an amazing step forward for the unique sound of the band. We talk all about Parking Life and so much more, so go check out the new album then come listen to our chat.

(S3E30) – Caustic Casanova

Back in 2023 Washington DC band dropped an amazing album of the year candidate, Glass Enclosed Nerve Center, and not soon after went on hiatus. As a huge fan I was bummed, but sometimes life happens. So you could understand how excited I was when the CC Instagram account was fired up again and mentioned the band doing a show and that new material was on the way, I immediately hit up main songwriter Francis Berringer and that is what you get on the latest episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E30). Francis catches us up on all things Caustic Casanova, including the details on the first show in years, new CC stuff with Dale Crover (!) on drums, and so much more. I am so happy to have Caustic Casanova back. If you don’t know them, go listen, then come back and check out our chat.
