DEVO - Hot Potatoes: Best of CD

Unavailable in the U.S.! 1993 compilation featuring 19 of the Spud Boys' best.

One of new wave's most innovative and successful bands, Devo was also perhaps one of it's most misunderstood. Formed in Akron, OH, in 1972 by Kent State art students Jerry Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh, Devo took it's name from their concept of "de-evolution" - the idea that instead of evolving, mankind has actually regressed, as evidenced by the dysfunction and herd mentality of American society. 19 tracks.
