"The Devils Cattle" was written between Johannesburg, Pretoria, Bourlon, Berlin and Oyster Bay in 2019, whilst Johni Holiday and co. were hopping between locations during a very busy year.

The year 2019 saw many changes to the band, including new touring line-ups, the departure and return of founding bassist Jimmy Glass, a deal with a new record label, as well as the addition of new members. All of this served as inspiration for the lyrical and thematic content of the album, which deals with substance abuse, fear of isolation and failed relationships.

The album was penned by Holiday, and recorded in separate sessions between September 2019 and February 2020 at Backline Studios in Johannesburg, along with multi instrumentalist, producer and new member Evert Snyman, as well as a rotating cast of guest musicians.

"TDC" is a love letter to rock 'n roll - every nasty inch of it.
