About
Devo is an American new wave band formed in 1973 in Akron, Ohio. Known for their unique blend of new wave, punk rock, and art rock, Devo is distinguished by their satirical social commentary, robotic stage personas, and the use of synthesizers. Their 1980 hit "Whip It" brought them mainstream success, though their work often explored themes of de-evolution and the absurdity of modern life.
