The greatest band from Akron, Ohio, Devo continue to exert a powerful influence on todayâs musicians. These wired geeks manifested their acerbic theory of âde-evolutionâ through jittery, robotic rock filtered through wonky analog keyboards and distorted guitars, all topped by neurotically yelped vocals. Several local groupsâincluding Ononos, Brainport, Universe People, X Suns, Male/Female, and Glitterbangâwill strive to replicate the kernels of springy fun at the core of Devoâs strange, anomic songs. âSatisfactionâ is guaranteed.
