Belushi Speed Ball release new music video for “That’s A Mighty Fine Wayne Gretzky”

Louisville crossover thrash maniacs Belushi Speed Ball have released the official music video for “That’s A Mighty Fine Wayne Gretzky,” taken from their latest album, “Toxic Waste Was Everywhere In The ’80s”. Inspired by the cult animated series Aqua Teen Hunger Force, the video pays tribute to the offbeat humor and surreal animation of Adult Swim, pairing the band’s breakneck thrash with a bizarre cast of anthropomorphic characters.

Regarding the video, vocalist Vinny Castellano comments:

“We proudly present our disasterpiece of a music video for ‘That’s a Mighty Fine Wayne Gretzky.’ A straight Aqua Teen Hunger Force reference, channeling our entire Adult Swim childhood into one random chaotic adventure. Pure nonsense for the enjoyment of all thrash and anthropomorphic food fans!”

The video was directed and edited by Castellano, with additional artwork by Justin McClure and special effects by Vlad K.

“That’s A Mighty Fine Wayne Gretzky” appears on the band’s latest album, “Toxic Waste Was Everywhere In The ’80s”, a 12-track collection of blistering crossover thrash, irreverent storytelling and pop culture satire. 

Belushi Speed Ball will bring their high-energy live show to the Northeast this November for three performances in West Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York.

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.”
