They've got about five for sale at iTunes and CD BABY that's where I've purchased mine anyway. Essential listening!

Your sound has really evolved since your stigmata days. Keep it up. Do you have a cd out?
Such a great voice, Matt. So honored to have seen you at the Folk Fest this year. You remind me so much of a guy I follow name Darrell Scott out of Nashville, TN. Check him out sometime, he's probably one of the most under-rated guys in music. Your lyrics, like Darrell's paint great pictures for the soul. Hope to see you live soon. Peace.
We thoroughly enjoyed the performance at the Sioux River Folk Festival! Please keep writing great songs and performing. Hope to see you there next year, maybe for a jam session!
It's refreshing to find that my favorite performer at this year's Sioux River Folk Fest lives only 50 miles away from my doorstep. So pleasently surprised by your warm smokey voice and spectacular songwriting. My daughter and I simply fell in love with your music this year and will treasure your new CD. Wishing you nothing but success with your music.

I was happy to discover your music at Emugga.com and I heard a damn fine live track ! Sounding good. Best of luck to you all.

Man! AWESOME band. Never heard of you before last weekend. That singer of yours has one hell of a voice and some big hair!!! Keep on rocking fellas. Great show.
You were all by far the best performers of the day today in Hawarden. Hats off to all of you.
Nice work on Gasoline Rattle - quickly becoming one of my new favorites. Glad to have heard of you.
Great music. Read about you at Americana Roots today and just downloaded about 20 songs or so. Loving it. Ever been to Oregon? We'd love to have you. Blessings.
I can't wait to see you at Folk Fest this year! Found out you were going to play it this year too! Too cool. Loved the Gasoline CD.
Matt D and the P. Saints rock. Especially the dude in the sunglasses in the picture above.
The spirit was move'in in the Chesterfield last night Mat d. and the Profane Saint w/ Snake Beard Jackson. What a show.. man.
Votre musique est magnifique. J'aime votre voix chantante. Bonnes chansons. Viendriez-vous jamais en Europe ? Nous aimerions vous avoir ici. Bonne chance ! Très rare trouver la musique comme le vôtre ici qui semble comme bon. Aimez-vous!
Your bass player fk'n blew me away Saturday Night! That man knows how to work it. Strange for an alt country band, but so cool Good times Saints, Good times.
Hey Matt D., Terry G here. Love your stuff-nice tunes.
You guys are AMAZING
I just wanted to tell you guys waht a great job you did at Nutty's with Quaker City this weekend. Your singers have such great voices and the band sounded great. I know I'm excited to see the four of you in Sioux Falls again soon.
I really love your style of music,i wish on your website i could listen to more of your music. Where can i get your tunes?
Hey man, was great to see y'all up in Sioux falls last night. sounded great looking forward to the 29th.
Great songs, man. You have a nice Texas feel to your music. Some of the greatest independent stuff to find my ears in a long time. Keep up the great work.
Highway 49 is the driveway to my home in Mississippi. It's amazing that you can write such meaningful songs about that place and live in Iowa. You must have some kind of Transendental Transportation device in your "haid".
GREAT MUSIC BOYS. KEEP IT GOIN. LOVE YA MATT. UNCLE B.
Thanks Alana Z! Much appreciation and all the best to you in NY.
-D and the Saints
I throw my virtual bra at your feet. Fucking great stuff! I expect to see you touring with Lucinda Williams in a couple years and to hear you on Sirius satellite's Outlaw Country station. Please send a demo to The Living Room in NYC and get a gig there so we can see you live. p.s.: I found you by pure accident on folkalley.com now I am telling the whole music scene in Williamsburg Brooklyn.
Great stuff Saints! That dark and sexy religious rock n' roll is doing the trick. I'm looking forward to March 29th. Happy 2008.
Very good songwriting. Refreshing and honest. Personal favorite is Dead in New Orleans. Hope you go far. Best to you all from NYC.
Gary
Caught a few tracks from the Gasoline CD - terrific songwriting and vocals. Jim has you pegged with the Earle reference, and you certainly do out-sing him! Looking forward to more music. Great stuff.

You've got a golden set of pipes brother! Rock on Profane Saints, Rock on!
Kyle Travis
Wow. I feel powerful! Grrrrrr.
Yeah... That's probably the best compliment there is...
mat - if you delete vicky's post i'll quit the band.
No nice way to put this.
Your voice makes me wet.
Love, love, love your songs.

Hi Matt D and Band

I'm getting anxious for that new record guys. Happy Holidays.
Thanks for the free music, Giving and handsome to boot! Works for me!
Hello Profane Saints.
I found you while browsing the halls at www.RockabillyFever.com and I just luv, luv, luv the free stuff. You know how to make a kitten feel special. I'll be your Mudflap Momma anytime.
Lily.
I just discovered your music on Americanaroots.com, Great stuff guys! Lye Soap, Cigarettes and Gasoline get's my vote for coolest song title of all time. Keep Rocking!
Jimmy Brown
Enjoyed your show the other night! Good music to shake it to. Hope you'll be playing again soon!
Thanks Tracy, Phil and Steven. We appreciate your kind comments and your support. All the very best to you and yours.
Mat d.
Hey, Matt D. and the Saints. Just purchased your EP online and all I can say is INCREDIBLE! Top notch songwriting and some good lyricism to boot. Keep up the good work guys.
I enjoyed your take on your Cash covers last night. Very cool! Love the record.
You have a most amazing gift. Your voice is hauntingly beautiful. I can't wait to hear you with the band. xoxo
Tracy
Loved the show Saturday Night. You have a way of inspiring this girl to as you say 'shake it'
Ha! Tell that Handsome devil of yours to get to the studio and get to work!!! We'll do the same!
Thanks Tom...
You know if basses were just much smaller I wouldn't look so short...
Or if I were just taller!!!
Thanks Tom- much appreciation and gratitude for your kind words!
Tommy likey, Tommy want wingy.
You guys have something great together. You are a rare gem in this neck of the woods, or crack in the ass if you will. If you ever need a taller bass player, I'm your man. Kurt, you sound great, bass as bass should be. Thanks again.
Yeah! I get to see you again in Sioux Falls! My boyfriend and I thought you were the best at Newton Hills, we can't wait to hear you with the full band!
Thank you Shelly and Taylor, we appreciate the kind words and your support.
Good set on Friday night. I liked the new CD. Good Luck.
Loved you on Fourth Street last night Your voice is amazing to say the least Best band I've heard there so far this year Great Job!
Thanks for saying so George. Best wishes to you and yours.
I live in Bristol. It's about 165 km West of London. I read about you on bluesbunny. Great music blokes.
Thanks George. We appreciate the kind comments and your support.
Just curious-what part of the UK are you from?
I recently read about you all over here in the UK and was very pleased with your latest CD. Well worth the wait! Cheers Matt and band.
George Krimper
Hi Chris... I think you are the guy responsible for teaching me to play the drum intro to "Billion Dollar Babies". Good to hear from you.
hey chris! how could i forget the guy who turned me on to kiss, alice cooper and the the new york dolls? the guy who actually had a drumset...and let me play 'em! good hearing from you. drop me a line.
Old buddy from Jeff and Kurt's Jr High days. Wondering if you even remember me. Glad to see you are still jammin. Wishing you all the best
I'm so proud of you!!!
I'd love to hear you guys cover some James McMurtry. Your music reminds me of him and Hayes Carll. Ever heard of them? You sound like your all from Texas. I was surprised to find out your from the midwest. Cheers.
Great Music. Thanks for Sharing.
I recently discovered your music online and I'm very impressed by what I hear. You wear your influences on your sleeves, but you have a unique and powerful voice unlike any I've heard, and your sense of rhythm and pure energy are incredible. I'll be keeping my eyes and ears on the four of you. Any chance you'll be traveling down towards Oklahoma City one of these days? We're always in need of good rock n country down here. xoxo Sarah
Cool version of Cash's Ring of Fire last Saturday. My girlfriend and I enjoyed your set.
Wow! What a great voice! Keep it down and dirty boys, just the way us country girls like it!
Looking forward to hearing the new stuff. I dig the groove of Austin Texas. Very Cool.
Great sound. Keep up the good work.
Downloaded some of your stuff and I've been enjoying it immensly. Heard you on the University of Texas Radio. Great Music. Keep at it.

I love to go down to the schoolyard while I'm listening to the Mat d. and the Profane Saints and watch all the little children jump up and down and run around yelling and screaming...They don't know I'm only using blanks.
Greg Smith
hey joe! i guess mat only responds to the ladies, eh? i just wanted to let you know your kind words and support mean the world to us. thanks for stopping by!
Thank you Faye! We appreciate the kind words and your support.
Mat D and the Profane Saints-
I just received a copy of Brand New Faith in the mail today from CD Baby and your music took my breath away. 'Bound for Glory' moved me to tears and your song 'Betty Got Saved' was such a joy to listen to. I wish you luck and much success.
Faye Wilson

Great Songs. Some of the most original Alt. Country this Midwestern boy has heard in a long time. You've done Sioux City proud.
Thanks J. Hearing that from you means a lot. You're probably one most discerning listeners of music I know of. Thank you very much for the support. We're hoping to break into 'God's Country' soon! I hope you and your family are well.

Just got Brand New Faith in the mail and I'm really impressed with how your sound's been progressing. I've got the rest of the EP's and this one really kicks it up a notch.
chris, thank you for the kind words and support!
Heard you gus on Nine Bullets. Very cool sound you have there. Bought the EP today on CD Baby. Best of luck to you all.

I couldn't agree more with Mark. Your show was absolutly the best show by any Sioux City band I've ever seen. Your vocals are out of this world.
See you around Saints!
Thanks Mark. Your support is very much appreciated.
All the best-Mat.
Matt, and all the Saints. I love the new EP. Lye Soap, cigarettes, and Gasoline should be catapulted to the top some official music list. One of those list's would be mine. I tell everyone to hear this CD. Support this band!
Peace and Successful Blessings!
Mark
I did WHAT?
i don't know jim, to me it looks like i just slammed my john-thomas in a car door....for the SECOND time.
Nice Drum Face Jeff! I LOVE IT!
You guys are the best band I've ever heard come out of Sioux City. I love the new disc. Keep it coming.
One more drink and heaven will be calling and I don't care if the sky starts falling 'cause I feel free, with my GOD in a bottle in me.
-Mike Knott
You're no Robert Zimmerman, but you rock the fucking bells man. Very cool indeed.
I can't wait to see you four in action. God Bless the Profane Saints!
Fabulous show at the Riverwalk last weekend, you made the whole event worth while. I'm crazy about your sound. Hope to see you back up in Sioux Falls soon.
Love your stuff
You rock pretty hard for a 'folk' guy! Heard many good things about your gig at the Lava Lounge here in SooFoo, good luck on the 19th
geez...ain't that an ancient lo-fi thing...Thanks!
music soothes the savage soul.... how true when i listen to your cd drugstore mermaid.....love it every time i hear it.
Mat,
Thanks for adding the link to folkrising.com.... I'll put one to your site on my site within the next few weeks when I get back to updating the website.
Hope to see you up here this summer for one of the concerts, but, if not, we'll try to make it down to Sioux City for one of yours.
Gary
Thanks to everyone for the support and the kind comments, not only is it refreshing but much appreciated by myself and the band. Get out there and support all local and independent music!
-Mat d.
Great Alt. Country Sound Best Music I've heard come out of Iowa in 20+ Years
Hope you go Far
Rick Morris
Thanks. Just like the syle. You're a very talented dude. "Betty Got saved" sounds really good, I'll have to pick up the cd when it's available online seeing as I live in Texas and probably won't be able to make it up there to a show anytime soon. We'd love to have you down in Austin. Keep Rocking
