They've always been a bunch of crackpots on stage, but the quirkiness is part of their charm & they have been a massive influence in music since the 70's, anyway they're back with a new album, im hoping to catch them live if they do any UK dates!

I often see one of their members (Mark Mothers-something. He also did the Rugrats theme and others) on one of my kid's tv channels. Weird dude.

I also had no idea they were still together. If they can get back, I'm holding out hope for an Oingo Boingo reunion...

I've been a Devo fan for years. They reunited a couple of times in the past 10-15 years, but never with a studio album. They most recently played at the Winter Olympics.

There are a couple of different commercials featuring their latest music. Dell ran a campaign featuring them and their new song "Watch us work it" which officially rocks, and the video is fantastic.

For the new studio album they posted parts of 16 songs and let fans choose their top 12. It was pretty cool. As you listened to each clip there was this video of a guy wearing headphones listening to the clip too.

The best Devo stuff is when they get interviewed, especially by the MTV generation. The interviewers rarely realize they are getting punked.

It's just good stuff.

Uncontrollable Urge is one of the greatest album openers, and greatest songs, of all time!

Not read good things about their new album. People complain it's all a bit "safe" and "heard it all before".

For me their 1980s stuff is just priceless and timeless...

Beautiful World is a just a classic song. A song written to correspond to a video inspiration. Just classic.

I'm more of an Oingo Boingo fan myself. Not that they two should be compared though.

Middle aged but still massively talented! Some retards on the youtube comments claim that Devo are ripping off Lady GaGa :lol: kids who dont realise its the other way round no doubt!
Interesting to see Nine Inch Nails drummer John Freese now performing with them!

There is a very very small number of people who are very very impressed by that.
