BELUSHI SPEED BALL Responds To GREEN DAY’s New Dis-Track “Smash It Like Belushi”

Wednesday 16th April, 2025 by Mankini | 0 Comments

Step aside Tariff Wars, there’s a new “beef” in town. Earlier this week so called punk stalwarts GREEN DAY released a new dis-track* “Smash It Like Belushi,” an obvious and provocative shot** at underground Louisville thrash metalheads, BELUSHI SPEED BALL. This follows GREEN DAY’s attempt to mimic BELUSHI SPEED BALL’s unique release strategy and their foul measured response. All caught up?

BELUSHI SPEED BALL aren’t taking this lying down, and their response to the disparaging track will be quick and brutal.

“Green Day dropped a song about Belushi, well we are hitting the studio ASAP to drop a song about the stock market! Two can play at this game, and before you all cry “Oh look who can dish it out, but not take it” THAT’S RIGHT! Dishes are best served hot and full of vengeance. Diehard 3 With a Vengeance to be exact. The best one! Because Mike Dirnt kinda looks like a young Jeremy Irons if you squint hard enough. Simon says, “take us on tour!” – BELUSHI SPEED BALL
