Uma das mais importantes e inovadoras bandas da new wave, o Devo também é uma das mais incompreendidas. Com o nome tirado do conceito "de-evolution" apresentado no livro The Beginning Was the End: Knowledge Can Be Eaten, cuja a idéia fala que, ao invés de evoluirmos, a mentalidade humana regride. Sua música ecoa esta idéia na rígida, repressiva e mecânica sociedade americana. Com isso, o grupo se tornou uma sensação cult, ajudada pelo visual estilizado de seus integrantes.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!

the Booji Boy speech (over the chords that were used throughout):
I don't know what's goin' on in the world these days It seems like ev'rybody's just got ev'rything turned around People don't seem to care about their fellow man They're all just goin' for that big ice cream cone in the sky They haven't figured out what happens when your eyes get bigger Than your belly Like an ostrich who eats his pizza with his head stuck in the sand If they can't see it, it isn't there And you know, it really does take a worried man
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song I may be worried now but he won't be worried long
