TOUR AD IN NEW THE PUNKROCK MAGAZINE #14

ANOTHER ONE FROM THE CELTIC ROCK.DE

Sir Reg ~ A sign of the times (2011)

With „A sign of the times“, Sir Reg deliver an successor which is at least as explosive as the first self titled album. With the irishman Brendan Sheehy on the leadvocals and the swedish colleagues on the instruments, the band creates a genius mixture in which the best components of celtic rock and punk are united.

Right from the start, the opener and title song „a sign of the times“ thunders with such a presence and catchiness out of the boxes, that you might think the band shoots its wad. A mindblowing melody, which is perfectly carried by the instruments, conjures pictures of longing and hope. When you hear that track, the energy of the hookline literally knock’s your socks off. Immediately, bands like REM and Travis came into my mind, with which Sir Reg could easily compete musically. Fortunately, the album keeps the promise it gives with the first song and the other songs convince even the most spoiled ear.

In their songs Sir Reg sing aubout emigration, the small and big fights of life, desperation and the way out of it. With music like on „A sign of the times“, that’s no problem! Except for „Dublin city“, the whole album ist charcterized by a high tempo. The songs are played fast and powerful without losing the sensitivity. Songs like „Dying to rebel“ „How the hell can you sleep“ and „Living on the moon“ proof that this band is not only in control of its instruments, but also of the songwriting and that’s no matter of course! Before Sir Reg was founded in 2009, they have been touring a long time as a cover band. Their perosonal favorites like The Pogues, Horslips, Flogging Molly, The Beatles, The Dubliners and Dropkick Murphy’s functioned as “song supplier” and of course you can tell these influences. Attributes like lovely combine with energetic, combative and melancholic.

„This country’s for sale“ or „I’ll leave for New York“ have hit potential, there’s no doubt and they stand as an artistic exclamation mark for the talent that these musicians put in their work. Strings are played until they glow, drums and vocal cords are quaking and the listener remains with a feeling that only goog music is able to give: Total happiness!

SIR REG AD AND REVIEW IN PLASTIC BOMB #77

“Fleet songs as fast as one beer too scared to Guinness, the times really generate speed and pressure and it is completely consumed without any guitars and other modern gadgets. Beautiful melodies, the songs also have no way to invite endless fiddle attack of senile hippies…”
Plastic Bomb

SIR REG – „A Sign Of The Times“ CD/LP
Ein Typ aus Dublin am Mikro mit nem Haufen Schweden an den Instrumenten fabrizieren  hier zusammen wirklich süffigen Irish Folk-Punk. Flotte Songs, so flott wie ein Bierschiss nach zuviel Guinness, die mal wirklich Tempo und Druck erzeugen und das völlig ohne verzehrte Gitarren und jeglichen anderen modernen Schnick Schnack. Sehr schöne Melodien, die Songs auch keineswegs zu überladen von endlosen  Fiedelattacken seniler Althippies, sondern meist kurz und knackig  auf den Punkt gebracht. Auch eher ruhiges Liedgut wie beispielsweise „Far Away“ überzeugt auf der „A Sign Of The Times“ restlos.  Schöne Scheibe, die zwar nach dem Genuss von Alkohol nicht schlechter wird, aber im Gegensatz zu vielen Kollegen aus dem Autobombentraditionsland durchaus auch nüchtern zu ertragen ist. Allerdings ist das ja bei Irish Folk nicht wirklich ein Qualitätsmerkmal, denn wie meinte der seltsame fette noch Mann gleich: “Wenn du aufpassen musst, dass du nicht zu viel trinkst, liegt das daran, dass man dir nicht trauen kann wenn du es tust.“ Gefällt!

Johnny Horsepower (Cash cover) is an authentic Country/ Rockabilly trio with Denis Joplin as the lead singer and front figure. Johnny Horsepower interprets Johnny Cash in their own delicate and original fashion. Beside Denis, the trio consists of Tim Kristensen on upright bas (Known from Pranksters, Nekromantix, Godless Wicked Creeps among others) and André on lead guitar. Johnny Horsepower’s performance – the looks and sound – are a tribute to Mr. Cash and The Tennessee Two (from the early 50′s and forward).

ASTROLITES
Hi-Speed rockabilly – straight, honest and dangerous!
Behind Astrolites there are no secrets; it’s pure and honest rock ‘n’ roll. Astrolites live what they preach – out to their fingertips. With a passion for hot rods, cool motorcycles and awesome music, they know what they are talking about and can supply it. It is explosive, well played and more authentic than this, it’s not many bands in this genre that can deliver. At an Astrolites live performances can not help but draw a smile or to be carried away by the intense soundbites.

WILD WAX COMBO
Last but not least is this 3 piece band from Copenhagen with their wild and raw 50′s Rockabilly with a modern twist!
www.myspace.com/wildwaxcombo

THEE GRAVEMEN
Primitive, Wild, Raw, and a lot of fun is the best way to describe this two man horror-trash-band from Mamlö, Sweden. These two English guys aint interested in pop fame or hit records, they live in a world of gravestones, monsters, werewolves and haunted houses. Sitting alone in the dark watching vintage hammer horror films and waiting for grave digging jobs. Sir Lee Tea plays the guitar and wails, while Devilish Daz pounds the stripped down drum set. Sounds crazy but its true!
