DEVO Whip It! Pop! Vinyl

Before there was industrial, before there was post-punk, before half the bands you love figured out what a synthesizer could do to a guitar band, there was DEVO.

Akron, Ohio's finest art-damaged weirdos took the mechanics of rock music apart and reassembled it into something that felt genuinely alien, and 1980's Freedom of Choice gave them their biggest hit with Whip It. The energy dome hats, the matching uniforms, the whole theory of de-evolution, it was performance art that accidentally became pop. This Pop! Vinyl captures the band in their iconic Whip It-era gear, which is the correct version of DEVO to immortalise in plastic. A genuinely important piece of alternative and new wave history sitting at an extremely reasonable price point.

Official licensed vinyl figure set, approximately 9cm tall, window box packaging. Available for $23 at ALT CVLT in Frankston.
