Hardcore Devo: Volume One (1990) is the first of two collections of demos released by the post-punk/new wave band Devo. The album was out of print for over twenty years; however, it was re-issued on Superior Viaduct[3] in 2013 both as a vinyl release (May 2013) and a CD containing both volumes and bonus tracks (July 2013).

Overview

The Hardcore Devo albums are collections of 4-track basement demos recorded by the band between 1974-1977. Some tracks are earlier versions of some of Devo's best known tracks that would later be re-recorded and used on subsequent Devo records (e.g. "Jocko Homo," "Mongoloid"), but a majority of the tracks were never re-used and remained unreleased until the Hardcore Devo compilations.
