Who knew that the process of devolution would transform the members of '80s new wave pioneers Devo not into cavemen, but into a surf band?

Three members of Devo have reunited as The Wipeouters and will release their debut album, "P'Twaang," on April 24, Billboard reports.

A band representative described The Wipeouters to Billboard as "Devo goes to the beach". Based on the album's track listing, it should be filled with the band's typically skewed sense of humour: "Wedgie Wipeout," "Nubie Boardsmen, "Ravin' Surf," "Shut Up Little Man," and "Luna Goona Park."

The group's marketing approach is to talk about The Wipeouters as if they were an authentic surf group formed by Devo vets Mark and Robert Mothersbaugh and Robert Casale, during their childhood in Akron, Ohio.

"P'Twaang" is even being promoted as a reunion album of the original lineup, Billboard said.

Fellow Devo vets Jim Mothersbaugh (drums) and Gerry Casale (bass) also appear on the album, as does Devo associate Josh Mancell.

Billboard said the group plans to play a few live shows but won't tour with the project.
