Gab De La Vega is prepping the release of Life Burns, a new album due March 1, 2024 via SBÄM Records, plus wider distribution via Sell The Heart Records (US), Epidemic Records, Motorcity Produzioni, and Overdrive (the latter three in Italy).

First, we get a new single with a full-band rock element, "Off My Chest."

Speaking of the single, De La Vega says:

The way interactions shape the way we are, especially in the formative years, is often under-looked. It took me a while to understand that some features of my personality exist and to face them openly, to be outspoken and verbal about them felt immediately redemptive and even liberating during the writing of the lyrics.

It's easier to hide our head in the sand in front of the negatives, especially when they are part of our human experience, but to work on them, face them and process them is the only way to accept everything and move on and possibly grow up.
