Devo is a pioneering American new wave band from Akron, Ohio, formed in 1973 by the Mothersbaugh brothers (Mark and Bob), the Casale brothers (Gerald and Bob), and Alan Myers. Known for their quirky, satirical style, Devo blended art punk, rock, and electronic music with science fiction imagery and offbeat humor. Their 1980 hit "Whip It" brought them mainstream success. Devo's innovative approach to music videos and their influence on new wave, industrial, and alternative rock have made them one of the most distinctive and influential bands of their era.
