“ About The Big Benders’ performance, which included a bit of country, rock, blues, and a punk closing, Coach Joe Avezzano, seemed at a loss for words as he repeated over and over again “You made me like you, You just made me like you". Dearmore commented, “There’s a lot more to Texas music than just plain country, and you guys brought it.” One of Saille’s covers was a fairly unknown Hank Williams song, hard to believe any would be unknown, but it was, and that pleased the judges. Big Gus’ comments compared the Big Benders with some of the best underground bands that have achieved greatness & Again, Coach Joe “You just made me like you, man!” ”

— Mary Jane Farmer, Sceneintown.com

“The sound of the band more closely resembled what might happen if Mike Ness and the chick from the Dresden Dolls got together at a Texas honky-tonk, smoked a ton of peyote and then proceeded to make a Johnny Cash-loving baby. ”

— Kelly Dearmore, Dallas Observer

“Speaking of their performance at Round 1 of the Shiner Rising Star Competition. "The trio by the name of The Big Benders, the evening's elder statesmen, rolled out their rollicking brand of rockabilly/soul/Western-goth to a successful effect. Their inventive and unpredictable cover of "Fortunate Son" was the highlight of all three sets for me, personally." ”

— Kelly Dearmore, Dallas Observer
