"Working in a coal mine going down down, working in a coal mine WHOO about to slip down. 4 o'clock in the morning, I'm up before the sun.." -DEVO, 'Working in a Coal Mine'
It's a band, from the late 1970's.
They're the great grand daddy of 'new wave' and 'punk'.
Then there's Siouxsie and the Banshees.
One of my friends' husband had gone to school with the guys from Devo...for what it's worth...
"They're the great grand daddy of 'new wave' and 'punk'.

Huh, what?? Punk was already happening by the time DEVO did their top 40 thing. DEVO wishes they were the granddaddy of punk.
But Siouxsie is the Queen.
