After sharing the stage multiple times in Europe, Winnipeg’s Greg Rekus and Italian punk rock singer-songwriter Gab De La Vega are going to tour the United States and Canada together in November.
With an acoustic guitar in hand and a giant stomp box under his feet, Greg Rekus is an incredible performer and an unstoppable tour machine, with appearances all over Canada, United States, Mexico and Europe. His latest release, “Sibling Cities” (2017), sees John Paul Peters (Royal Canoe, Comeback Kid, Propagandhi) as engineer/producer, to condense Rekus’ trademark punk rock-infused folk music into one solid album. He will be making his fourth appearance at No Idea Record’s “The Fest” in Gainesville, FL before being joined by Gab De La Vega.
Italian singer-songwriter Gab De La Vega will be touring North America for the first time. He’s a musician with a hardcore punk background and well-rooted in the European DIY scene. Throughout the years he’s toured Europe extensively, from Portugal to Poland, the U.K. to Sweden, from Germany to the Balkans, and he’s opened for Against Me!, Chuck Ragan, Kevin Seconds (7 Seconds), Austin Lucas, Tim Vantol, Ceremony, and many more. His latest release, “I Want Nothing” 7” (2017), is his first studio release with a full band arrangement, a real attempt to come out of his comfort zone.
Greg Rekus and Gab De La Vega will make their way up the East Coast of the United States into Canada, with shows in Quebec and Ontario.

After six years of non-stop touring across Europe, one 7” and two LPs, the italian punk rock singer-songwriter Gab De La Vega announces a new release, this time (for the first time) out via his own label Epidemic Records (Italy), Backbite Records (Germany) and Vegan Records (Argentina).
All three labels are known for their hardcore punk releases, but that’s also Gab’s background, which puts his music on the same page with other heavier bands and musicians.
“I Want Nothing” was recorded in May 2017. Gab this time worked with drummer Marco “Cello” Cellini (previously with Gab in the hardcore punk trio The Smashrooms) and with Simone Piccinelli, who worked on two of his previous LPs (Songs Of Existence and Never Look Back).
“This is still my acoustic solo project – says Gab – but this song required a full band arrangement in the studio. Plus, I wanted to try something different. I’m very happy with this new song, this is a real attempt to come out of my comfort zone and I feel like I made it with the best of results.”
Side B is going to be an acoustic rendition of The Misfits classic “Some Kinda Hate”.
“I Want Nothing” cover picture was taken on a New York metro train during the Summer. Jaden D (who previously worked on Gab’s video for “Against The Grain”) is also working on a music video for the song, which has been filmed between New York and Toronto. That is going to be your first chance to listen to these new recordings!
Preorders will start soon, so keep your eyes open!
Also, Gab De La Vega is touring Europe in September, some dates are still available so get in touch if you want to book a show! Copies of the 7” will also be available at these shows!

Dopo sei anni di tour non-stop in tutta Europa, un 7” e due LP, il singer-songwriter punk rock Gab De La Vega annuncia una nuova uscita, questa volta (per la prima volta) sulla sua etichetta Epidemic Records (Italia), Backbite Records (Germania) e Vegan Records (Argentina).
Tutte e tre le etichette sono note per le loro uscite hardcore punk, ma sebbene le sonorità siano un po’ diverse, il background è comune e mette in sintonia la sua musica con altre band e musicisti ben più pesanti.
“I Want Nothing” è stato registrato a Maggio 2017 e questa volta ha visto Gab collaborare con Marco “Cello” Cellini alla batteria (in precedenza insieme nel trio hardcore punk The Smashrooms) e Simone Piccinelli, che ha già lavorato sui due precedenti LP (Songs Of Existence e Never Look Back).
“Questo rimane comunque il mio progetto solista acustico – ha detto Gab – ma questa canzone richiedeva un arrangiamento full band in studio. Inoltre, volevo provare qualcosa di diverso. Sono davvero contento di questo pezzo, si tratta di un serio tentativo di uscire dalla mia zona di comfort e mi sento di averlo fatto con il migliore dei risultati.”
Il lato B sarà un’interpretazione in acustico del classico dei Misfits “Some Kinda Hate”.
La foto di copertina di “I Want Nothing” è stata scattata su un treno della metro di New York durante l’Estate. Jaden D (che in precedenza ha già lavorato sul video di “Against The Grain”) sta occupandosi del video anche di questa canzone, che è stato filmato tra New York e Toronto. Quella sarà prima occasione che avrete per ascoltare queste nuove registrazioni!
I preorder partiranno presto, quindi occhi aperti! Inoltre, Gab De La Vega sarà in tour in Europa a Settembre, alcune date sono ancora disponibili quindi fatevi sentire se volete fissarne una! Ovviamente anche date in Italia a seguire. Le copie del 7” saranno disponibili anche a questi concerti!
