At long last, Swedish Celtic punk act Sir Reg are back with a brand-new single, ‘Open the Pubs,’ which is the first release of their upcoming sixth studio album, ‘Kings of Sweet Feck all” which will be released on Despotz Records.
The band comments on the track by saying:
If anyone told you a few years ago that pubs would be closed for months on end, you’d think they were having a laugh! Was no laughing matter indeed! That delicious pint of Guinness your favourite bartender pulled for you was suddenly taken away and you could only dream about it midst the ongoing nightmare!
Sir Reg have always been a band that has been close to our hearts, especially considering we used to exclusively cover Celtic punk. The band was formed when Irishman Brendan Sheehy, who left his home-town of Dublin and headed to Sweden with a guitar and a dream – to put together the most amazing band possible.
Boasting songs that bring together everything from the issues of modern day society to finding the right bar on a Saturday night, powered by strong melodies and irresistible energy.
Add to the mix an explosive live show and it’s easy to see why, SIR REG have a formidable reputation in the Celtic punk and rock scene. Since the fledging band burst onto the scene in 2009 they have released five critically acclaimed albums and have performed on many of Europe’s biggest stages alongside bands like The Mahones, The Misfits, Thin Lizzy and The Real McKenzies.
