First off, I'd like to apologize for WHYH glaring lack of posts this past week. I have especially been neglecting to update, but you will have to forgive us. It is just a busy time of the month for all of us here at We Hate Your Hate. Now, on to the profile...
Do Make Say Think is/was a Toronto band that has been described as everything from jazz, to electronica, to rock. They combine jazz style drums with electronic beats, all sorts of instruments and distorted guitars. Do Make Say Think was originally formed around 1995-1996 and have released four full length albums to date. At last count, the band consisted of five main members; Ohad Benchetrit, David Mitchell, James Payment, Justin Small and Charles Spearin.
The reason that I say that they are/where a Toronto band, is because, although the band never actually broke up, most of its members are involved almost completely in other projects. DMST's last album came out three years ago, in 2003, so it is possible that another album may be released, but to me it does not seem very likely. Charles Spearin and Ohad Benchetrit are involved heavily with Broken Social Scene.
However, even though this band may never come back, they do have four excellent albums and it is truly a shame that this band was never very big. If you are a fan of Explosions in the sky, then Do Make Say Think is definitely something you will want to look in to.

DMST (or "The Action Verbs" as think I once heard/read them referred to) are 6 kinds of amazing. I saw them peform at Olympic Island last summer and even though the conditions for seeing them were not exactly what I would say are ideal for them - middle of a very bright, very warm summer day out in a park - they blew me away with their sound. I really hope still remain active.
I'm digging what you guys are doing here at WHYH - keep it up
DMST is still around! they're out following broken social scene this fall, and they'll be headlining next year summer around the NEW RECORD with "a larger touring band." i'm excited, are you excited?
Aren't you glad you were wrong about them not putting out another album? =)
