Devo - De-Evolution and the Freedom of Choice
Devo originated in Akron, Ohio forming a band based on the social theory of de-evolution. This innovative and unique band would combine experimental, art punk, and electronic music along with matching uniforms, quirky science fiction themes, surrealist humor, and satirical social commentary.
After creating a short film and developing a number of songs, Devo would sign a record deal and release their debut studio album in 1978 with Brian Eno as producer.
This episode will discuss the early years of the band through the third studio album, Freedom of Choice.
