Band member Gerald Casale talked about the band's legacy, and origins in an exclusive interview with Mixdown on October 10, 2023, stating:

"We were the pioneers who got scalped. All the things that are expected of bands today, we were doing back then and being maligned for it. We were marketing ourselves, branding ourselves… controlling everything about it, textwise, visually and sonically. People were either blown away or they wanted to kill us.”

Casale continued:

"We were original and we weren’t ashamed of being original."

Talking about the band's origins, and early recording process, revealing the environment in which they grew up and the equipment they used to make their first albums, he added:

"We were isolated up there in northern Ohio. Nobody paid any attention to us. We honed our concept and our playing for nearly four years so that when we finally went public we couldn’t be compromised. We bought a TEAC 4-Track because we read somewhere the Beatles recorded Sgt. Pepper on one."

The singer further told Mixdown:

"We figured if it was good enough for the Beatles then it was good enough for Devo. We had no distractions. We would get together and have these unfiltered ideas and we would experiment with them and turn on the recorder."

DEVO as a band rose to prominence in the mainstream music space with the album, Freedom of Choice, which was released on May 16, 1980. The album charted within the top 50 spot on the Billboard 200 album chart, and reached the top 5 spot on the Australian album chart. The album also scored a platinum certification after release.
