When Devo last released a new album, 20 years ago, the biggest stars in music were M.C. Hammer, Paula Abdul and Vanilla Ice - and nobody wanted to listen to herky-jerky synth pop and hear about how the world was crumbling all around them. "Now most people agree that devolution is real," says Devo bassist Jerry Casale. "We were real ahead of our time, and our music seems contemporary now. A lot of bands we like a lot, like LCD Soundsystem and the Ting Tings and MSTRKRFT and the Kills and Hot Chip are informed by the sensibility that we started. We are suddenly marching in step with the times again." (Watch the full video interview above.)
back in the 70's 80's these guys were so ahead of the times and still are, the de-evolution continues even today
Bought a DEVO T-Shirt. People ask who the hell DEVO is, and I'm forced to explain to these fools that we are DEVO. LOVE YOU GUYS!
thats the point.!! who wants a freakin' t - shirt that everybody knows...
Are we not Men ?
@@felixicecream3740 we are DEVO
We are Devo !
not many bands come back after this long and sound this awesome
I'm a little older now at 57 , still remember taking the new Devo record to the party's back then and everyone clapped and cheered. Fantastic band, nothing has approached them in their brilliance, I bow down to Devo. I always have. And that's good.
Saw them live at the Forum in Inglewood, CA., back in the 80's! One of my all time favorite bands!
I was there too. One of the best shows ever !
I lived through the best ages of music: 1950s rock, '60's psychadelia, '70/80's Cars and Devo. I loved the Cars, but some of the best times of my life were at Devo concerts. Devo was in great aerobic shape as well as their audiences. We had to be. Jumping the Pogo for 2 hours was invigorating
Let these guys do whatever they want all the time, always! They are more than a band, they are top notch artists. The whole of their work will live on in the archives of the best galleries on earth along with Picasso and Stockhausen. Just you wait!! Just you wait!! Seriously
amen
Thank you ....
De-evolution predicts that the best galleries will soon be the McDonalds in Disneyland, right next to the DEVO themed roller coaster amusement. (with Booji boy at the controls)
They sure hit one out of the park with "Something" ---- an incredible late-period achievement. Not only my favorite Devo album, it's one of my top 10 favorite albums of all!
Thanks to DEVO for releasing new music! The last album is amazing. Can't believe it's 11 years old but it is so welcome to my ears!!!
SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY is a real knock out of the park. I would never have thought.
Wow - they've been through a lot and come out still on top! That's okay about being a senior citizen, Jerry - you still look good!
steemdup He did get a toupee!
I think it's more like a hair ' system ' or implants or hair plugs. He obviously didn't opt for the ' cheapest ' hair, or it would look less real or less convincing.
And to think when they came out I blew them off as a "gimmick band." Then in the mid-80's I picked them back up and actually LISTENED and holy shit... the world just wasn't ready for them...
f**king brilliance. To my deathbed, will go down as one of my all time favorite bands.
SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY is one of their best-ever records!!
More relevant today than ever. These guys were 30 years ahead of their time.
@WilbePat Devo belongs in the Rock Hall. I was a straight up hip hop Puerto Rican kid in 1980s NYC and they are what expanded my horizons to all kinds of rock music. Ive seen them twice in the past few years, and yea they put on a few pounds, like me, but their creativity and originality still sets them apart.
Still remember bring home the first record and playing it over and over...a real mindfuck
Devo should never stop writing. I believe they are the sound of the future. Like It or not Devo is a staple of music. They are able to take any topic and put it to music. I believe they are a very cultural and political band with a voice that needs to be heard by the world. I couldn't have made it through school without Devo.. Congratulations Devo.
"Devo's weird return". What does everyone think of that title? Devo is epic and the best most bone rocking heart wrenching music of all time.
Just saw DEVO in Vegas. Unreal. and being from Akron Ohio, it was like seeing some real hometown heroes. Thank you DEVO 🖤
I loved them...Only person in my circle of friends to have the Freedom of Choice album....I have only sang twice in front of people....once in the 80's I sang "Whip it" in a small dive I bartended at...was not working that night and was speeding and drinking....and last year at my Step-mothers 75 birthday they played "Whip-it " and I was forced to do it again!...stumbled once...but Rocked it out!
The person who wanted them to sound like the Cars was probably Roy Thomas Baker, who produced "Oh, No! It's DEVO" in '82 after producing the 1st 4 Cars albums.
devo since 1972 were the and still are the greatest musical artists of all time . much better than the cars !!!!!!!!!!.
I saw one of their first shows in LA at a Wet Magazine private party , I was amazed ...and still ply their music today
@ylookhere
Same here bro, I was a hardcore funk music fanatic (seriously into George Clintion/P-Funk stuff), black kid from South Central (LA) in the late 70's. What got me into Devo was their monster smash 1980 hit of course was "Whip It." My high school football coach use to get us fired up to this song during practice, lol!! Yeah, I agree with you, Devo should get their long over do recognition into the Rock Hall Of Fame. This band was ahead of their time and underrated as well.
Scott Orsi put together SpudTalk. Grassroots Devotees. I went on headlong. Crazed. Amped. Behind the message!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ive got tons of gear right here and now. We at that time basically FORCED through passion a concert kick off in Chicago. That was the kickoff concert for the rebirth. I was there. We all were. It was the best time i have ever had in my entire life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love D E V O i always will love D E V O one of my favorite groups i really enjoyed hearing something for everyone still sounded like the D E V O I LOVE
I have 'Now it can be told' on CD from Enigma. It's sort of a live greatest hits and it is awesome. 1988 concert. Recent live footage of these guys kicks as well. Spuds.
They're not cynical, they just watch the news!
The financial crisis of 2008 was the best thing to happen for music fans of aging rock stars. :) There, I just peeped the real reason why you're back. Also, I love you.
I'm always eager to spread the joy.
POLYSICS OR DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so glad they did a new record - thanks guys!
I grew up on Devo too. Part of the MTV generation.
Damn MTV isn't MTV anymore, it's nothin' but crap now :(
Devo are the fathers of new wave and techno.
They had all the newest electronic musical toys before anyone else did and put them all to good use.
Japan should bow to the altar of Devo for influencing one of their most awesome bands and one of my all-time favorites, Polysics!
If you've never seen or heard Polysics, I highly recommend it.
Ignore the language barrier between East and West and take joy in the fact that Devo lives on through these young, fresh acts.
Duty Now For The Future and, clearly, not many wanted to even listen, let alone take enough action.
Devo, probably one of the most influential bands around and will continue to influence musicians around the world. Great clip, but I want to see the raw interview... 3 mins of interview? Come on!
Because they have Freedom of Choice
it's what you want
Hahahaha so funny!
Your name is fuckin "Barack "I have AIDS" Obama" you have got no right to be sarcastically quipping about other peoples jokes.
Love these guys.
My friends (DEVO), we WANT to pay for music. It must be GOOD though. I bought this album because a) it is really good, and b) I support DEVO. You guys fricken' ROCK!
DEVOLOUTION is REAL.
Future is now. Maybe their next albums can be called: 1)Whine and Cheeze 2) Old Crying Violins 3) Techno Coffins. Gone, gone, gone, red eye express.
Long Live DEVO 🤘🏾
They ROCKED Irving Plaza in NYC a few years back.
you're really something else, Ron.... really something else
Working with the Teddybears was the smartest thing they could have done, however, they should have had the Teddybears produce Something for Everybody in its entirety. Who are the Teddybears, you ask? They are the brains that took Watch Us Work It from its original version and made it what you hear on the Dell XPS commercial.
Oh shit. He said it. Senior Citizen. But Man, DEVO still ROCKS!
I guess they're only spud boys looking for the real tomato.
How history proved these guys exactly right!
I love these guys.
you guys should have kept makingn musicl.....we all wondered what happened , you guys were real cool..
I actually heard the flowerpot wisecrack about the energy domes recently. I felt genuine pity........
Pure staggering genius there.

Real de-evo
That was true on the Oh No! It's Devo album, which was produced by Roy Thomas Baker, who had done music with The Cars. That was actually when Devo's music at the time started to become overproduced and uninspired.
stainless frames! wow, sublime.
WE ARE ALL DEVO
In the VOID of any real music, there is a real market for early 80's music, but I think more of these classic bands would have more success, not just in coming out with new music, but building up in inventory of current bands who share their vision and help promote them. Youth speaks to Youth, and while Milli Vanilli failed because of lip syncing, the idea of a middle aged band writing music and having younger musicians and singers take the stage still works.
Id love to see them play Rhythmic itch live
Best band by far ever. mothersbaugh is groovy artist, too. Go go go Mr. DNA.
very good guys
These guys once said that "electronic forms of "Roll Out the Barrel" will be the future of music...
I wish it were so good. Autotune can't save 99% of the "singers: out there."
Ive always loved DEVO. They were unusual like me.❤
You can tell while there speaking they are thinking about other idea's for future songs while keeping inturned with what they consider old music moving forward to the nexted level. Interviews are boring to brilliant mines. These guys came back stronger going up against alot of fire walls.
@TheBearcat222 You are forgetting a key ingredient to determining costs: the effort on the part of the person producing the product. Saying that you're being ripped off because the media is cheap to make is like saying that, if you already have the materials, a builder should make you a house for free.
They are cool as hell hard to believe they're needs
Man, even Devo themselves hated Enigma!
you guys are COOL
Thanks to you I got to knew Polysics. Aaaaaawesome! :)
DEVO RULES! period
@deuceloosely4711 they also pioneered things like green screen tech and recording tech too
Or instead of necessarily writing and producing the music for them, mentoring them in a Mutt Lang or Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis fashion would be far better. With the crash of the Music Industry, they may need to work outside the Unions. They helped crash the music industry, because soon groups like TLC were becoming slaves to contracts, and many didn't overcome, they just went home. People forget the Bery Gordy Jr. MoTown model can still work - music out of a garage, not overly polished.
I never stop learning from Devo .....are we not men !
Is Gerry wearing a wig?
@prayfortheplan You said it!
i love you guys and cant see you at the canyon cause im going to burning man which you should
@prayfortheplan
People who count give them the credit....
Still think they need to be in the Rock Hall. Sign the petition at RockSnubs (dot) com. And also the Museum of modern art!!
Don't forget Kraftwerk.
Really? I can walk into my local record store and pick up Technique right off the shelf. That is if they aren't sold out.
@EsClayWilson Clearly you didn't listen to what they just said...
wasn´t it 30 years ago?
THE 1970S???????? damm the 1990s are now looking good , forget the 1980s :) but the 1970s??? thats ancient cultural history , DEVO STILL TEACHING US , DEVOLUTION
plus that that guitar sounded like someone with dry heaves,and i could relate to that,haha.
@johnsoncm65 - so the guy who said "facts are useless things" was a liberal? (that guy BTW was Ronald Reagan, the guy who proved deficits don't matter (as said by another Republican that blamed Democrats for deficit spending ) yet you never seem to think outside the box, so do you know what "irony" is?
Time out for fun !
the world needs to your message... get out there
flash in the pan comes to mind
Flash and the Pan. The Easybeats before that in the late 60’s. Harry Vada & George Young we’re dripping with talent. 🏆
"Nobody waits for the big new statement from a Bob Dylan or something"
Obviously Jerry has never listened to Immortal Technique!
Hey go to Digital what ya think BUT I paid for the records man!
Spuds!
@WilbePat Devo are more than 'rock'music and should not be in the R&RHoF.Instead they should be in the Museum of Modern Art with Warhol and the pop-artists as Pop-Icons
Didn't Rolling Stone describe Devo as "Nazi Clowns" back in the day?
Trust me don't start making music now, except for me, and you ,and everybody else.
More like the Cars... LOL
the sex pistols had a number one single.
fukn A!
Why would they mention Bob Dylan?? Haven't they noticed the generations that were coming after their era?
Because they have "Freedom of Choice"
Because they have "Freedom of Choice"
Because they have "Freedom of Choice"
But it's still bull**** that no one wants to pay for music. People with no taste in music don't wanna pay for music. But if you make quality music that people who like real music likes they wanna pay for real music:)
If so....very un-DEVO like.
Nerds
They guys are lookin old.
that's why they sound like the Cars.... because they were getting told too... Cars music was much better anyhow... even the new stuff... all be it DEVO's music now is better than the old stuff imho
I like their quirky tunes but the de-evolution idea is just nonsense.
You paying attention to the world?
