[edit] Overview

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.

[edit] Quotes About the Album

"Disinfecting rock of its dirt, streamlining its all-too-human edges, Devo created perhaps the most repellent rock in history."
