To the average listener, Devo are likely only known for their breakthrough 1980 hit, "Whip It", and for its seminal music video with them wearing weird red domes on their heads. However their influence within the music world stretches across several decades and genres, all the way back to their debut 1978 LP, 'Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!'. It and the "Whip It" parent album, 'Freedom of Choice', have survived the test of time as pillars of Geek Rock, Post-Punk, New Wave, and more. However, placed between those key moments is the less-celebrated and often ignored 'Duty Now for the Future' - at best considered a comparatively weak transitional album between their Post-Punk and New Wave/Synth Pop periods. This month, Austin is joined by Adam Schneider of Boston's own hyperactive synth rockers Big Time Kill to see whether 'Duty Now' deserves the same re-evaluation and appreciation as the albums that surround it.
