    It’s not Devo. It’s apparently very easy to upload music in some other artist’s name. This happens all the time for a lot of artists.

        It has historically been a way of stealing Spotify royalties but targetting big artists is more d difficult these days. It’s also a means of hijacking an artist’s audience, if only temporarily. Sometimes also used to fraudulently get things into DMCA databases. Happens to smaller artists like Lemon Demon all the time.
