"Off My Chest" introduces listeners to a more powerful full-band sound, pushing boundaries with dynamic drum beats and fierce guitar riffs, influenced byGAB DE LA VEGA's hardcore and punk roots. This transformation is further enhanced by his studio collaboration with long-time friend and bandmate Simone Piccinelli from THE OPEN CAGES. DE LA VEGA's resonant voice skillfully conveys the song's emotive lyrics, showcasing his signature expressiveness.

GAB DE LA VEGA comments:
“Off My Chest” is the first single off my upcoming fourth album “Life Burns”, which is coming out March 1st 2024. This album is dense in meaning and this song makes no exception. It is actually one of the most meaningful of the whole album. It is a very personal song but I think it can resonate with the listeners, I'm sure some people out there would easily relate if they had similar experiences growing up. 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. Musically, it's gives a glimpse of what the new album is going to be like. I think that you can feel the rage and at the same time the desire for something positive as a response to it in the music. This album sees a lot of this honest approach in the feelings that each song can evoke. I can't really wait to play this song and this album live!”

As a seasoned performer, GAB DE LA VEGA's journey has spanned across Europe, including the UK, the US East Coast, Canada, and South America, sharing stages with prominent artists such as Frank Turner, Against Me!, Laura Jane Grace, PUP, Chuck Ragan, Joey Cape and more.
