I don't often post covers on here but this is the 2nd in 3 days. Hopefully it proves as popular as the previous one.
Mr. Splice Guy are a new collaboration between Brand New Luddites (https://brandnewluddites.bandcamp.com/) and Underwater Bosses (https://underwaterbosses.bandcamp.com/). Their vocalist has this singing malarkey in his genes as he's a descendent of Von Trapp Family (who were immortalised in The Sound Of Music).
They've just released a new ep called Procedural Degeneration on Sharawaji Records which is available on cool looking red splatter on yellow 10" vinyl, cd or digital download : https://mrspliceguy.bandcamp.com/album/procedural-degeneration
It features 6 Devo covers that take the essence of the originals and adds twangy surf rock guitars. It tackles both the "hits" and the "lesser known classics" and it adds a pleasingly fresh spin.
This was always one of my favourite Devo songs, one I bought on 7" vinyl on one of my frequent school lunchtime trips to my local indie record store. It's called The Day My Baby Gave Me A Surprise...
