Hardcore Devo: Volume One is the first of two albums released by the post-punk/new wave band Devo in 1990 (see 1990 in music).

The Hardcore Devo albums are a collection of 4-track basement demos recorded by the band between 1974-1977. Many tracks are earlier versions of some of Devo's best known tracks would later be re-recorded and used on subsequent Devo records on Booji Boy records [eg. 'Jocko Homo', 'Mongoloid'] but a majority of the tracks on the two albums are demos which were never re-used and remained unreleased until the Hardcore Devo compilations.
Volume One was followed by Volume Two the next year, described as even more 'Hardcore' than the former with more 'experimental' tracks, but not without it's share of 'Classic Devo', with their trademark sound already showing.
