Who is this band? I just ran into mention of them and it's all news to me. I have read speculation that there are members of Devo involved. Anyone familiar? Is it good?

The website has a nice high-tech (Narf!) flash intro.

Devo, they're still together and currently touring though. Not that I am saying they couldn't be part of this band. They just played in Central Park in NYC the other weekend. Heard they were good.

Yeah, I got the Netburn of that Central Park show -it's phenomenal.

We'll be seeing Devo in Chicago in Sept.

Could be a couple of them -not sure if the Network is playing anywhere right now. Curious...

I like it.

Really, really reminds me of something. Can't place it, though.

I like it too.

Not to oversell it, but it kinda reminds me of the Damned, Bauhaus, and especially (the good parts of) Sisters of Mercy. Mixed with some Devo (punchy bit near the end), strangely enough.

No way. Really? No jokin'?
The world's gone upside down.
Maybe a couple of members, ok, but who the heck is singing in that track?

yup, it's for sure green day, as far as I know no Devo at all. Just Devo influence.
