Their latest release titled "Straight On Till Morning" received a 5 star rating on Skinnie magazine (Jan 2004).

WWF? Yes! Their obvious love of wrestling radiates with WWF-like antics such as jumping on top of each other from ladders, breaking chairs across the beefy bass players back —all while pounding out their rhythmic songs to a frenzied crowd! Now that’s entertainment!

Influences range from Queen, Rolling Stones to The Ataris, Weezer, Green Day and the Hippos.

Their newest album, Straight on till Morning, would be the perfect soundtrack for any skate or snowboard video. In fact, it would not be surprising to hear this act featured in the next American Pie movie.
  
  Musicianship: These guys are different from other pop and emo bands that merely play simple power chords. Michael Lozano weaves skillful guitar leads with Victor Campos’ heavy rhythms and brother Frankie Lozano’s driving bass lines. Upon listening, without even knowing their names, it’s obvious that Mullet is a band made mostly of brothers. Their familiarity helps them present a tight live show that almost sounds recorded. Drummer Adam Lozano sets up the rhythm and vibe with a dynamic performance.
  
  Performance: The high energy of Mullet’s show was enhanced by the band’s stage theatrics. Despite a broken ankle, Michael Lozano rocked out onstage more audaciously than most frontmen can. His performance was just shy of circus contortionism. While seated in a wheeled office chair with his ankle propped up, he shredded on a guitar he held behind his head. Mullet projected its abundant enthusiasm with infectious excitement.

  at the Showcase Theater in Corona
  was a multifaceted success organized by
  Frank Lozano, father to members of the
  local band Mullet. The show featured the
  bands All In All, Stalking Roxy, Elseworth,
  Aurees and of course, Mullet and raised
  both cans of food as well as awareness of
  the Second Harvest Food Bank. Fans
  showed the true Christmas spirit by loading
  up five large containers with canned
  food items. “I feel we did make a dent in
  [raising] awareness of the potential synergetic
  powers of local bands and local
  businesses,” said Lozano. With donations
  from generous sponsors which included
  Infinity Music Instrument Company,
  BC&A Property Management, LBEI
  Electrical Contracting, Tom’s Farms, Goat
  Eyewear, Kiko Productions, Sounds
  Like…, Pharaoh’s Lost Kingdom, Photo by
  Pharley, Inland Empire Medical Imaging,
  and Backwoods Bar B Q., Lozano got a
  chance to play Santa by giving away an
  extraordinary amount of raffle prizes. Tshirts,
  stickers, skateboards, along with
  C.D.s, gift certificates, and even a
  Marshall acoustic/electric guitar were in
  his bag that night, and it seems that no
  one left empty handed. “The bottom line
  is I hope this will fuel the fire for others to
  want to be part of the 2nd annual, and
  the third, fourth…”
