About
DeVo, Devo: Proto-industrial New Wave from Akron since 1972.

Devo emerged amidst social upheaval in early 1970s America, channeling their response into a unique artistic vision combining punk rock energy, experimental electronic textures, and cultural satire. The core members included Gerald Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh, who crafted a calculated image featuring industrial-style costumes and quirky stage personas like Booji Boy. Their music, produced by Brian Eno among others, incorporated synths and unusual rhythmic patterns ahead of many peers.
The band’s catalog spans studio albums, live recordings, and a rich collection of limited edition and colored vinyl pressings. Devo’s vinyl legacy includes seminal LPs such as 'Q: Are We Not Men?
