Hardcore Devo: Volume Two is the second of two albums of Demos released by the post-punk/new wave band Devo.
The Hardcore Devo albums are a collection of 4-track basement demos recorded by the band between 1974-1977. Many tracks are earlier versions of some of Devo's best known tracks, which would later be re-recorded and used on subsequent Devo records [eg. 'Jocko Homo', 'Mongoloid']. However, a majority of the tracks on the two albums are demos which were never re-used and remained unreleased until the Hardcore Devo compilations.
Volume Two is described as even more 'Hardcore' than Volume One with more 'experimental' tracks, but not without its share of 'Classic Devo', with their trademark sound already showing.
