‘Why Do U Hate Me?’ Marks a Defiant Step Forward for Rock Resurrection
Wellington-based punk band Rock Resurrection have released their latest single, Why Do U Hate Me?, now streaming on all major platforms. The single marks a turning point for the band, both musically and in its lineup, as Elliot Conlon (lead guitar) and Isaac Baty (bass) officially join founding brothers Oliver and Tommy Mackie.
Why Do U Hate Me? is a sharp, emotionally charged punk anthem that dives into the feeling of being dismissed without reason. Driven by gritty guitars, pounding drums, and emotionally honest vocals, it captures the voice of a generation often misunderstood.
“I wrote this song at a point where I felt like no one wanted to listen — just assume,” says frontman Oliver Mackie. “It’s not about blaming anyone, it’s just saying: ‘You don’t know me, so why hate me?’ That question stuck in my head.”
With new members Conlon and Baty adding melodic edge and heavier rhythm to the band’s already explosive sound, Rock Resurrection continues to grow without losing the raw energy of their roots.
Why Do U Hate Me? is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and all major streaming platforms.
