Apr 2700:33:32Tap to summarize(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.

Transcribe →Rich & Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E26) – Restless Spirit
Apr 900:48:48Tap to summarize(S3E26) – Restless Spirit I love Restless Spirit for lots of reasons, not just because they are from my birthplace of Long Island, but it sure makes it even more fun when we chat with Paul Aloisio about all things RS like we do on the latest episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E26). The new self titled Restless Spirit record drops on May 8th via Magnetic Eye and dare I say it is their best yet. Paul gives us the skinny on the new record and so much more, all with a beautiful Long Island backyard backdrop. If you have not preordered the new record, go do that, then come and listen to our discussion. Restless Spirit rules…
Transcribe →Rich & Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E25) – Abrams
Apr 900:38:35Tap to summarize(S3E25) – Abrams We have had Zach Amster from the Denver, Colorado band Abrams on the show before for a lot of reasons, but mostly because his band rules and he is a great guy to chat about music with. So, we would have him on any time really, but for the latest episode of Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E25) Zach joins us to talk about Abrams new album, Loon, that drops on April 17th via Blues Funeral Recordings (if you're not a PostWax member you should really change that ASAP), and of course you know it is amazing. Turbo calls it the band’s “breakout record” and I sure can’t disagree with that. We cover all the stuff about Loon and so much more. Zach is great, Abrams rules, Loon is an AOTY candidate, so yeah, you should probably check out our chat.
