<p>We first caught wind of Harker back in April, a simpler time when the English punk band’s ferocious single “Wasting Time” literally made us go “fucking alright, this is good”. We’re feeling the same kind of sentiment once again as the quartet unleash “Medicine,” a riotous new tune fuzzed out and tuned in against the oppressive forces that keep us from thriving.

Devo have confirmed that their upcoming tour, called Farewell Tour, Celebrating 50 Years of De-Evolution, will be their last. The band spoke about their decision to end their touring chapter in a recent interview with The Guardian. Speaking about the decision to stop touring, Mark Motherbaugh said, “Imagine you had four wives and you worked together. It’s tricky being in a band”. Gerald Casale added, “I’m in denial. Because I love performing and I’ll hate to see it go. It was part of Devo’s DNA. But we did as well as we could, for as long as we could”. Devo will be touring the Western US in November and will be playing the Good Things Festival in Australia in December.

A statement on Instagram reads in part, ”We are so proud to announce the beginning of our very own record label imprint: Romantic Records. Near the end of last year our former record label, Tiny Engines, graciously allowed us the opportunity to buy back our masters. Huge thanks to Tiny Engines – first for being among our first supporters and for their early belief in our music and secondly for giving us this opportunity. This WEDNESDAY August 23rd at 12 EST we will be launching pre-orders on our website for a limited amount of Romantic vinyls – long out of print and printed by Romantic Records for the very first time! 3 color options will be available as well as a temporary return of a classic MP shirt. Thank you to everyone who has been part of our musical lives and who has loved and supported this record. It’s so meaningful to us every time someone tags us in their cover of “romantic” or let’s us know they just discovered and connected to the album for the first time. We’re so excited to continue to show you what we’ve been busy working on.” Mannequin Pussy released their EP Perfect in 2021. See the post in full below.
