One of new wave's most innovative bands, Devo bubbled up from the Midwestern underground of the 1970s with a marvelously obtuse, self-designed vision that they were able to successfully convey to a large audience. Taking their name from their own philosophy of "de-evolution," the Akron, Ohio-based group merged dark social satire and offbeat humor with highly stylized visuals, briefly breaking through to the mainstream with 1980's Freedom of Choice and its smash single "Whip It," whose accompanying video was made a staple by the fledgling MTV network. Their jerky, robotic rhythms, bizarre uniforms, and focus on technology were like nothing else on the pop landscape, though some of their campier elements caused some critics to unfairly dismiss them as a novelty group. Although their success waned throughout the rest of the '80s, Devo's legacy over the coming decades grew into that of a highly influential cult band with legions of followers. Through various reunions and re-formations, they continued to develop creatively into the 21st century, composing music for soundtracks and commercials, publishing a video game, and even collaborating with Disney to create a child-led version of the band called DEV2.0. 2010's Something for Everybody marked their return to new music, and they continued touring into the next decade.
