The rock band 'Devo' is a four-letter answer to the term 'Whip It Rock Band'. Devo is an American new wave and post-punk band formed in 1973. The band's classic lineup consisted of two sets of brothers, the Mothersbaughs and the Casales, along with Alan Myers. Devo's music and stage show mingle kitsch science fiction themes, deadpan surrealist humor, and mordantly satirical social commentary. Their style of music is often referred to as 'new wave'.
