Following releases of music on a piece of pizza, Teddy Ruxspin, Furby and Super Nintendo among other oddities, Louisville thrash metalheads and nonsensical purveyors of exotic objets d’art, BELUSHI SPEED BALL are marking the return to the studio to record their next album by offering fans the chance to purchase home-brewed cat bath water. That’s right, their faithful following are now able to obtain lead vocalist Vinny Crastellano’s cat Stella’s used, soapsuded water hand-bottled by the band and available for shipping immediately.
Commenting on the his feline’s soiled immersion fluid, Crastelliano says:
“We here at Belushi Speed Ball pride ourselves in making generic cliché crossover thrash for cats and cat owners. That’s why we are proud to be the first metal band to offer Artisanal Siamese Cat Bath Water. Stella’s bath water to be exact. Now available on our Bandcamp.”

About BELUSHI SPEED BALL:
Belushi Speed Ball is a Kentucky-based band founded in 2013 as a studio project amongst friends with a penchant for cliché crossover thrash. Their first live performances came soon after, enthralling a rapidly growing fanbase with a uniquely interactive brand of theatrics and unorthodox approach to releases and merch.
Dubbed “one of the funniest fucking things I have heard this year” by The Needle Drop’s Anthony Fantano, Belushi Speed Ball are inspired by bands from Toxic Holocaust and Anthrax to Gwar and Municipal Waste, to whom they simultaneously play homage and satirize a mean comment from a fan in their song “Ripping off Municipal Waste”, which was voted one of Leo Magazine’s top 20 songs of 2022. With a reputation for both trashing venues and meticulously cleaning them up after each individually themed performance, Belushi Speed Ball are masters of executing the unthinkable. From playing out of a Mad Max-esque moving van and starting Terminator-inspired 300-person Nerf gun fights to releasing entire albums in N64… or Furby… formats, nothing is sacred as they continue evolving as, in the words of Metalsucks, “a freakshow of blistering thrash dedicated to laughing its ass off at blistering thrash.”
