Devo is an American band that debuted in 1973

Devo is an American band formed in 1973. They started in the Midwest music scene and quickly gained fame. Gerald Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh, both art school students from Akron, Ohio, formed the band, along with manager Bob Lewis. They sought to highlight the difficulties and similarities in American society.

Their music stood out with its quirky and robotic rhythms, strange outfits, and focus on technology. Some critics didn't take them seriously and called them a joke. But their big moment came when they released Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! with help from Brian Eno.

The album became popular among fans who wanted to challenge the norm.

Their fame grew even more with Freedom of Choice in 1980, featuring the hit song Whip It and its famous MTV video. They became known for wearing red plastic hats called energy domes.

Despite experiencing fluctuations in popularity during the 1980s, they managed to maintain a dedicated fan base. Throughout the years, they have held reunions and ventured into new endeavors, such as composing music for movies and advertisements. In 2010, they made a big comeback with the song Something for Everybody.

The band persevered in touring and left a lasting impact on the music world, extending their legacy far beyond their humble beginnings in the Midwest underground scene.
