Alt-country-rockers The Mallett Brothers Band swept the top categories at the 2011 Portland Phoenix's Best Music Awards, winning Best Local Act, Best Live Act, and Best Local Album. Their fall 2010 performance at the National Underground in NYC was listed among the "Best Shows of 2010" by the award-winning music blog Hidden Track, and their debut album was named the Top New Local Album (Maine and New Hampshire) of 2010 by Bull Moose Music, after spending nearly a full year on the weekly Top 10 Local Album chart.
While they've been called "a party that cannot be missed" (The Deli Magazine), "an authentic, rip-roarin' alt country band" (The Portland Press Herald), "no softies" (The Portland Phoenix), "amazing" (The Piscataquis Observer) "luminaries" (NonAlignmentPact), with their songwriting compared to Hank Williams and Townes Van Zandt (The Bangor Daily News), Sam Pfeifle of the Portland Phoenix is perhaps most accurate in his observation that "this band always seems to be having a hell of a time, and that emotion is infectious."
