FUNCTIONAL BLACKOUTS

Just in time for the Nihilist Olympics, the band that put Criminal IQ Records on the Clap, The Functional Blackouts, release their most DEMENTED record yet! From the descent into a teen Crowley/Lovecraftian demon's brain omelet on "Heavy Breather" to scabies infected, serrated guitars, crazed vocal effects and kicking rhythm section, The Severed Tounge Speaks For Everyone stuns on par with the best as it soars into surreal states beyond O'Hare Airport (via Burning Airlines) and towards something beyond mere words that exists as both repulsive and fascinating. In fact, this messterpiece will make smart rock critics plagarize Richard Meltzer's most irreverent, wildest music reviews to describe it...its that good! Is this the best Criminal IQ release ever? No, it simply serves as one of the best releases in punk history.
