Right Next To Me - Rock Resurrection

I know I'm a month or two late with this one, but c'mon cut me some slack. One of my absolute favourite bands in the modern punk scene dropped an absolute banger, and it's called Right Next To Me. Unlike earlier Rock Resurrection songs, this is the first one with lyrics and decent production. Well, half decent. The drums have so much reverb they sound like they were recorded in the shower. And the bass is a little bit light. But all in all, a remarkable step up from the production on earlier single 'Systems Override', which sounds like a live recording.

As for the song, it's an absolute banger. Oliver Mackie's emotional, raw lyrics and vocals really shine through. The energy is top-notch, and I can really see this working really well live. The guitar solo's are derivative of The Offspring's signature minor solos, but they flawlessly blend into the song, providing a cushiony transition between sections. 

By far the best part of the song is the last two choruses. The energy and power here skyrocket, with Oliver's shouted vocals kicking the song into complete overdrive. This section reaches a climax like never before, with vocal lines sure to send shivers down your spine.

In conclusion, Right Next To Me is by far Rock Resurrection's best song in their extremely limited discography. I can't wait to see what this band puts out later this year.
