"Top 15 acts I saw at SXSW-09:
1. Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears (TX)
2. Devo
3. Metallica
4. The 757s (MN)
-Chris Riemenschneider, Star Tribune

Best band I saw all night (SXSW-4/21/09): The 757s. And that’s not 
hometown favoritism talking. The foursome of Twin Cities music vets 
had twice the enthusiasm and volume of many bands half their ages, and 
their cover of Grant Hart’s Huskers classic “Diane” amounted to three 
of the hardest-rocking minutes of the fest."
-Chris Riemenschneider, Star Tribune

“The music -- a bastardized blend of the Replacements’ thunder-n-blunder, Guided by Voices’ melodic rip and the Who’s meaty and bouncy -- was dirty and damaging, and it was beautiful.”
-Chris Riemenschneider, Star Tribune

"The levels are pushed into the red and left there to fend for themselves. It's honest, impudent and urgent. Not surprisingly, it's frequently sloppy and occasionally transcendent. It's an absolute blast. And it's over too soon." 
-Luftmensch, MY OLD KENTUCKY BLOG

"And though the songs continued to grow on me with each repeated listen, the one thought running through my mind as I delved into the 757s was “man, I can't wait to see these guys live."
