"...Over five independently released LPs—the sixth, Vive l’Acadie! is due June 15—the Malletts refined their sound… to capture the “frontier mentality” that not only runs through Maine but all of America’s wide-open spaces..." - Relix Magazine

"Gutsy country rock" - Americana UK

"Founded in 2009, The Mallett Brothers Band have had multiple lineup changes and stylistic shifts over the years, but they’ve remained steadfast in delivering heartfelt songs with emotional lyricism, vivid imagery, and dynamic musical tones…" - No Depression

"Americana music is many things, but it’s not typically known as an ethnic stew. But on Vive L’Acadie, The Mallett Brothers Band, sporting influences from Northern New England, French-speaking Canada, the Cajun South, Texas and even Ireland, has cooked up a sort of poutine gumbo that’s spicy enough to melt your turntable." - Americana Highways

"The sound of The Mallett Brothers Band comes from deep within the pines of Maine. The embodiment of a flannel clad morning chill and a bit of sap and dirt caked on the knees of your favorite well worn denim." - Red Line Roots

"The drama of roaring rapids, the danger of 1,000 floating logs and the sorrow of an old man dying alone in a cabin... With this record ["The Falling of the Pine"], the Malletts do for Maine woods songs what Boston’s Dropkicks do for Celtic punk: They punch it into high gear." - Bob Keyes (Portland Press Herald)

"When we first listen to a band, our brain reflexively logs them under the most fitting genre masthead, waiting for the next time your itch for “noise-core goth rock” needs to be scratched. Rare are the bands that challenge the inexorable classification by playing whatever the hell they want. Take a gamble to overthrow the whole system by listening to New England’s wildly eclectic crew of genre rebels, The Mallett Brothers Band." - Texas Hill Country Explore

"I’ve been waiting for an album like this for years." - Bluecollarsongwriting.com

"This band projects a self-assuredness that's infectious in a world where it's becoming harder and harder to find things that are real and genuine." - Sam Pfeifle (Portland Phoenix)

"It’s like William Faulkner has been resurrected with an electric guitar in hand." - Bill Copeland Music News
