By way of visceral folky lyrics, the Mutes offer happy music about hard times and the people living through them; these characters, like those in Springsteen’s and countless other folk songs, represent those groups oft overlooked in today’s media landscape and viral marketplace.”

— Sarah Morisano, Santa Barbara Independent

“Their live show... delivers a potent and buoyant mix of Americana, folk, and good ole-fashioned bar rock... the soundtrack to the best bar crawl of your life. Somewhere in between Social Distortion’s snotty rockabilly and Flogging Molly’s anthemic folk lie The Mutineers, whose hopeful ballads and sing-along-ready stompers make us all want to raise a glass.”

— Santa Barbara Independent

“The Mutineers "blend a variety of music styles into their own vaguely maritime, bar strutting brand of rock and roll which transcends pretty much every label you can hurl at it."”

— Nicky Jon, SWAP ZINE
