• The latest album “Sign of the Times” album which was voted the year’s (2011) best album in its genre. The “best of” lists from the four biggest websites of the Celtic Punk scene – Paddy Rock (USA), RockKultur Magazine (Germany), Shite ‘n’ Onions (USA) and CelticFolkPunk (Spain) were compared and SIR REG were consistantly highly placed on each list resulting in them coming out top over bands such as Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly.
