Album Review: No Milk Today East West by Herman's Hermits Alright, let’s talk about No Milk Today East West by Herman’s Hermits. Released back in 1966, this little gem came out under the Odeon label in Brazil, of all places. It’s a slice of Classic Rock history that still hits different today. Produced by Mickie Most, who kinda had the magic touch back then, this album doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel but nails what it sets out to do—deliver catchy, feel-good rock tunes. Now, I gotta zoom in on two tracks that really stood out for me: “No Milk Today” and “East West.” “No Milk Today” is one of those songs you don’t forget easily. It’s got this bittersweet vibe, like when you’re walking home after a breakup but also kinda relieved? The lyrics are simple yet oddly relatable—like, yeah, no milk today because… life’s messy, man. The melody sticks to your brain like glue, and Peter Noone’s vocals? Still smooth as butter. You can tell they weren’t overthinking it; they just let the song breathe, and it works beautifully. Then there’s “East West,” which feels like a totally different beast. While “No Milk Today” is more about vibes and storytelling, “East West” leans into this groovy instrumental energy. It’s not trying to blow your mind with complexity, but it does its job perfectly—it makes you want to tap your feet or maybe even attempt some awkward dancing in your living room (no judgment here). There’s something hypnotic about how the guitar lines weave together, almost like a lazy summer afternoon stretched into sound. What gets me thinking is how these two tracks sit side by side on the same album. One’s all emotional and reflective, while the other’s pure escapism. It’s like Herman’s Hermits couldn’t decide if they wanted to be your best mate or your party starters, so they just did both. And honestly? That’s why we love ‘em. Reflecting on this record now, it’s wild to think it came out in Brazil instead of their usual UK stomping grounds. Feels like finding an old vinyl at a thrift store and realizing it’s secretly gold. If you’re into Classic Rock or just need some laid-back tunes to spin while you’re chilling, give this one a shot. Heck, it might even make you crave a glass of milk—or remind you why you left it behind. Oh, and here’s the kicker: Herman’s Hermits probably didn’t expect people would still be talking about this album nearly 60 years later. But hey, good music has a way of sticking around—even in places you wouldn’t expect. Like Brazil. Who knew?

Herman's Hermits are an English beat rock band formed in Manchester in 1964, originally called Herman & the Hermits. Harvey Lisberg discovered them and signed on as their manager. He sent a plane ticket to Mickie Most so that he could come up from London to see the band play in Bolton, and Most became the group's record producer, controlling the band's output. He emphasised a simple, non-threatening, clean-cut image. This helped Herman's Hermits become hugely successful in the mid-1960s. Their first hit was a cover of Earl-Jean's "I'm into Something Good" which reached number one in the UK Singles Chart and number 13 in the US in late 1964. They never topped the British charts again, but they had two number one songs on the US Billboard Hot 100 with "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter" and "I'm Henry the Eighth, I Am". These songs were aimed at a US fan base, with Peter Noone (singer) exaggerating his Mancunian accent. Their US records were released on the MGM label, which often featured their musical performers in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer films. The Hermits appeared in several MGM movies, including When the Boys Meet the Girls (1965) and Hold On! (1966). They also starred in the film Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter (1968) and appeared in the 1965 anthology film Pop Gear. The group appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show, The Dean Martin Show, and The Jackie Gleason Show. Continued success in the US proved elusive beyond 1967, although they had as many Top Ten hits in Britain in 1967 through 1970. They recorded their final album of the 1960s Rock 'n' Roll Party, and Peter Noone left the band in 1971. Herman's Hermits reunited in 1973 to headline a British invasion tour of the US, culminating with a performance at Madison Square Garden and an appearance on The Midnight Special. A later lineup with lead guitarist Derek Leckenby and drummer Barry Whitwam opened for the Monkees on their 80s reunion tours of the US. The band continues to tour today, with Whitwam as the only remaining member from the original lineup.
