Devo are marking their 50th anniversary with the compilation ’50 Years of De-Evolution’.
The Akron, Ohio band took their name from the term de-evolution, a concept that was termed after the Kent State massacre of 1970 to describe how humanity is starting to go backwards. The first Devo show was on 18 April, 1973 at the Kent State University.
