Gab De La Vega Is “Preaching To The Choir” On New Single

Gab De La Vega goes back to his punk roots with his incendiary new single, Preaching To The Choir, that is the third taste of his upcoming album, Life Burns, that is set for release on March 1st via SBÄM Records, Sell The Heart Records, Epidemic Records, Motorcity Produzioni and Overdrive Records. Gab De La Vega has previously unveiled two different faces of the new album with Off My Chest, a powerful track driven by dynamic drum beats and fierce guitar riffs, and Northern Lights, a groovy yet intimate song that exposed listeners to more balanced but elaborate sounds. 

“Preaching To The Choir is a punk song. Period. I felt the urge the express myself in a very familiar language, one I learned many years ago and that stuck to me, that shaped me and became a part of me. It feels great to be able to take my music in any direction I want, explore my songwriting freely and then go back to my roots and feel so much at ease, so much comfortable. Preaching To The Choir is a punk song from the perspective of someone who grew up in the punk and hardcore community, who learned so much from it, but now sees that sometimes things don’t work out as they are supposed to. Things that once were those we criticized in the “outer world” become standard even in our community, which is far from being flawless, but still needs and deserves respect, dedication and honest commitment to keep punk rock the positive force for a change in the world we grew up with. It is here and now, it’s alive, it’s a minor but yet significant threat to a world that suffocates creativity, freedom of expression and the importance of creating bonds, bridges between people. The effectiveness of the punk message is wasted if it’s self-referential. It becomes a re-enactment, the ceremony of a dying religion. The strength of punk was, has been, and hopefully always will be its capacity to create strong bonds within its community and on the other hand project to the heart of society, to shake it, to wake it up and try to make it better. This song is about this.”
