Beginning in 1970, with the transformative effects of the Kent State University shootings - which the band-members witness firsthand - and ending a decade later with Devo on the cusp of superstardom (with "Whip It"), this title traces the sounds and ideas that the group absorbed and in turn brought to prominence as unlikely rock stars.
Recombo DNA is the first book to evaluate in the proper context the innovations and accomplishments of the truly groundbreaking band Devo.
