My Drug Hell

My Drug Hell is a West-London based power-trio strongly influenced by all things Sixties from both sides of the Atlantic. When listening to My Drug Hell you may discover Byrds-ian jangling guitars, Who-ish drumming, Beatle-esque production techniques, Kinks-y lyrics, Velvet Underground-like ramshackleness, Rolling Stones-type rough-and-readiness as well as some other strange and indefinable quality/thing/Presence that is uniquely theirs and which words alone cannot begin to describe.

Herman's Hermits

Herman's Hermits was an internationally successful 60s British band, from Manchester, England, formed in 1963. Part of the British Invasion, their trademark simple, non-threatening, clean-cut "boys next door" image made them easier to listen to and more accessible than other British Invasion bands. Their first hit, "I'm Into Something Good", was produced by Mickie Most, reaching #1 in the UK (1963) and #13 in the US (1964). Other hits followed such as "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter" (1965) and "I'm Henry VIII, I Am".
