"Devil’s Road is arguably the quintessential Walkabouts statement; being a go-to record that distills the band’s core vision into a suite of indomitable songs that hold regular fixtures in the band’s live set-lists to this day. Encapsulating themes of love, loss, escapism and redemption throughout, Devil’s Road is a ruralized road-trip mapped out across a landscape of ravishing widescreen orchestral epics."
