Louisville thrash maniacs BELUSHI SPEED BALL have absolutely outdone themselves this time. The band has just dropped the new single and music video for "I'm Not Your Buddy, Guy" — a full-on crossover tribute to South Park complete with the band transformed into iconic cartoon characters and, yes, a Butters Snacky Bear drum kit. Because subtlety was never on the table.

Vocalist Vinny Castellano put it best: "We wanted to pay all the respect and admiration to a cartoon that has completely shaped our childhood, South Park." The result is exactly as glorious as that sounds — razor-wire riffs, chaotic humor, and enough South Park references to make Chef blush.
The track comes ahead of BELUSHI SPEED BALL's new album Toxic Waste Was Everywhere In The '80s, dropping June 5th. The video also introduces new third guitarist Nathan Rogers, who officially joins the live chaos at Milwaukee Metal Fest on June 6th.
