Communiqué #7 – Song Study


Friends and consumers from all walks of life,


The time has finally come.

DEVO Inc., and it's musical division DEVO, are in need of your help.

In an effort to comply with the growing need for appealing sonic products in the mass market, we have officially launched the “Devo Song Study” to collect data regarding which of our current roster of recorded material is most appealing to you, the general public. Of course when we say “the general public” we’re also including members of the music press and media because we want your help as well. As you know, this is an unprecedented move and as this is your album too, we’re counting on you! Currently the band has created 16 new songs, which, at the request of corporate leadership, must be narrowed down to 12 for the official album release.

This interactive test will gauge your exact opinion on matters of musical taste and is the latest technological wrinkle in facilitating DEVO’s ongoing mission to appeal to everybody. We need you, the harrowed content consumer, to determine these final 12 songs. And we assure you that any measured contribution to this cause is time well spent, and enables a freedom of choice that was foretold long ago.

Please participate in the "Devo Song Study" by going online to:


You are the key to a more appealing tomorrow for all of us.

Duty now for the future!















Yes, the boys behind the hit “Whip It” are attempting a comeback and need your help selecting the tracks for their forthcoming CD.

One can only wonder if the red energy domes will be returning with them.
