Mat d. and the Profane Saints: Home

Here is what critics are saying about Mat d's latest solo release "Plank Road Drag"

"Mat’s past records, be it solo or with his band, The Profane Saints, have all been fine records with plenty of tracks that still live on my iPods, but Plank Road Drag is the first album that gets an unadulterated rip into my inner digital network...Odds on fave for my top 10 of the year, easily Essential Listening today."

-Bryan Childs/Autopsy IV Ninebullets.net

"Mat learned mandolin and banjo in a crash course. He then sat down with Profane Saints bass wizard Kurt Mullins to assemble ten memorable tracks that range from frenetic to mournful, from mountain to strip mall, banjo to subtle electric leads. Mat's lyrics dance like angels and demons cage-fighting on the head of a red-hot pin." - Jim Pipkin Hickory Wind.org / No Depression Blog

"Mat D’s Plank Road Drag is an ambitious record that hits on all cylinders to set a high water mark for any other contender for this year’s album of the year." -Baron Lane Twangnation.com

"...stylistically it’s a big step away from 'Dirt Town City Limits' but the transition is handled deftly and the end result is an excellent listen that gives a greater emphasis to the song-writing which is high quality stuff, tales of dirt road diners, highway dreams and dust bowl babes" -Simon Beat Surrender UK

Plank Road Drag is now on sale at iTunes, Amazon.com and CD Baby.com

Mat d will perform solo on Saturday July 24 at King's Pointe resort in Storm Lake Iowa.
