Originally formed amidst the chaos of the 1970 Kent State anti-Vietnam War protest killings, the not quite new wave band Devo scored a hit with "Whip It" and gained mainstream success with their message of societal "de-evolution."

I've always loved Devo since I was a teenager. What I wasn't ready for was how political they were as a band when they started out at Kent State. Who knew? I always found their concept of De-evolution as humorous, but I never it knew it had serious political and philisophical roots. This was a great look back at the start of the band and where they took it. Still a big fan today.
