Summer, the season of love, has finally arrived! Comedy metal band J.B.O. doesn’t need to be asked twice to show their affection. Still riding high on the success of their beer-fuelled single ‘Ka-Fump!’ and inspired by the start of the warm season, the quartet is back today, leaving plenty of… ahem… musical love bites with their new track ‘Bussi’ (Southern German/Austrian slang for ‘Kiss’).
Introduced by a sweet accordion melody, the cozily seeming song starts on a romantic note before Vito, Hannes, Ralph and Wolfram pull out the big NDH guns and enter the second stage of their journey to their forthcoming album “Haus Of The Rising Fun” (January 9, 2026 via PERCEPTION – A Division of Reigning Phoenix Music). The single guides all friends of ‘true nonsense,’ who found their way out of the Franconian woods despite endlessly consuming ‘Ka-Fump!,’ straight into the next labyrinth, the world of Bavarian beer tents. Musically flirting with one of the most famous bands of all time, ‘Bussi’ is nothing but an unrivalled minnesong which comes up with select mischievous quotes.
“‘Bussi’ is a pure love song and innocent as its title! That’s why we also wrote guiltless Bavarian lyrics although they’re not completely kosher… Well, Vito is a Bavarian-Franconian crossing anyway. Come on, don’t make a fuss!” add J.B.O. through rose-coloured glasses.

About J.B.O.
Heavy guitars and German lyrics combined with Franconian sense for nonsense don’t work? Way off the mark! Since 1989, J.B.O. have multiply proven that they’re the real masters of comedy metal – over the course of 14 studio albums to be concrete. Additionally awarded with two gold records, the quartet are mostly known for covering hit songs by artists of different genres, giving them a unique twist through re-written lyrics with an extra portion of humour.
Their original tracks shouldn’t remain unnoticed nevertheless since they also popularise with not minor jocular lyrical content. Fan favourites such as ‘Ein guter Tag zum Sterben’ [‘A Good Day To Die’] are classics of the band’s repertoire and vital parts of each and every J.B.O. concert.
From die-hard old-school metalheads to families and kids and fans beyond the hard’n’heavy boundaries: Their wide range of musical inspiration has resulted in an equally varied amount of followers which sees J.B.O. unite all sorts of people under their multicoloured musical roof and especially in front of the stages, making them even more outstanding amidst the heavily crowded world of artists out there.
J.B.O. are:
Hannes “G. Laber” Holzmann | vocals, guitars
Veit “Vito C.” Kutzer | vocals, guitars
Ralph Bach | bass
Wolfram Kellner | drums
