Ten years of Songs of Existence!

10 Years of Songs of Existence! Apparently ten years ago today I shared my very first full length solo album with the World. I don't think I really knew what I was doing back then, but it kind of made sense.

This album allowed me to explore my songwriting outside of my usual hardcore punk comfort zone (despite being painfully raw and naively energetic itself) and set the pace for what would have been years of non stop touring, giving me the chance to get out there as a solo musician.

Between then and today there's a long journey made of places, names, faces, friends, memories, roads, days in a studio and nights on a stage.

Today I'm getting ready to release what is my fourth studio album, the second to be arranged to be played with a band. Ten years have passed and yet I feel like this is beginning just now... and I can't wait for what comes next!

In the meantime, if we met thanks to this album, if you have memories linked to any of its songs, please give it a spin today on any digital platforms. If you want to grab a vinyl copy, I still have a few left on my store. You find it all at linktr.ee/gabdelavega and I'm sure there's a bunch of record shops, distros or people selling one online (put your link in the comments if you're selling a copy, someone might be interested in buying it from you!).

Now I want to know: what is your favourite song? What songs should I bring back to the solo sets? What songs should I rearrange and play with the band?

Happy birthday my old friend! The stories we could tell!
