 Devo is an American New Wave band formed in 1972 consisting of members
 from Kent and Akron, Ohio. The classic line-up of the band includes two
 sets of brothers, the Mothersbaughs (Mark and Bob) and the Casales (Gerald
 and Bob), along with Alan Myers. The band had a No. 14 Billboard chart hit
 in 1980 with the single Whip It, and has maintained a cult following
 throughout its existence. Their style over time has shifted between punk,
 art rock, post-punk, and New Wave. Their music and stage show mingle kitsch
 science fiction themes, deadpan surrealist humor, and mordantly satirical
 social commentary.
