Records vaults with remastered vinyl and expanded CD editions of their second album, 1979's "DUTY NOW FOR THE FUTURE," and their fourth album, 1981's "NEW TRADITIONALISTS." "DUTY NOW" will be available beginning on April 17th, Record Store Day, on vinyl while "NEW TRADITIONALISTS" will follow on May 11th.

Both albums have been re-mastered from the original analog recordings and housed in DEVO-luxish packages with a plethora of bonus tracks. Both titles will be released on CD as well as color vinyl album packages and both will include the Bonus Tracks. Please see below for track listings. The reissues follow last year's expanded first and third groundbreaking albums: "Q: ARE WE NOT MEN? A: WE ARE DEVO!" and "FREEDOM OF CHOICE."

Also available on April 17th, will be a Warner Bros. Records Record Store Day Exclusive DEVO release of two brand new recordings: "Fresh," backed with "What We Do," in pristine, Limited Edition 12" color vinyl glory. These will disappear fast so don't delay on Record Store Day!

As previously announced, DEVO will perform live at the annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, CA on Record Store Day -- April 17th -- where fans can buy RSD releases in the Zia Records tent on the festival grounds. All the more reason to come out and hear some brand new, focus group-tested/approved DEVO songs and buy new DEVO music and merch.

As an added bonus, DEVO will host a rare signing session in the Record Store Day Tent, powered by Zia Records where fans can meet DEVO and have your new DEVOlicious purchases autographed by the band on April 17th, at the Coachella Festival. Strangely enough, over 300 Record stores across the U.S. will celebrate RSD in grand DEVO tradition as their employees will be outfitted in exclusive DEVO Energy Domes. Clearly, the Spud Patrol will be in full effect coast to coast and ready to serve YOU, the faithful, beloved Consumer.

Just a few days after Coachella on April 20th, DEVO will perform live on the outdoor stage of ABC TV's "Jimmy Kimmel Live." This is DEVO's first live television appearance in several years. Tune in to ABC TV at 12:05AM PST and 11:05 CT. Check local listings for details.
