Holly West is the bassist for the national touring Led Zeppelin tribute act Zepparella. She is also the bassist and vocalist for Dead Groove, a 3-piece Stoner Rock power trio from Los Angeles.
In August of 2024, Dead Groove signed a deal with Cleopatra Records, and they are all set to release brand new music. Their new EP is called Rubicon and we will see its release on March 21, 2025.
In this interview, Holly gives us all the details about writing and recording the Rubicon EP, what the band has planned as far as releasing more music, and if they might tour. She also talks about her role as a video director, and if/when we’ll see videos for the Rubicon songs.

Hello everyone! My name is Scott Itter, but some know me as Dr. Music. I am a music journalist and photographer out of the Chicagoland area, and I have been in practice for over 20 years. I grew up in the 70’s with two big brothers that showed me all kinds of rock and roll. As I grew older I ventured out into different genres like jazz, funk, folk, and whatever else I could wrap my ears around. As I read every liner note and every Circus and Hit Parader like they were the Old and New Testament, I came to realize that I just love sound and appreciate all the people that create it.
I later became a stay-at-home dad and started honing my writing and photography skills to keep my mind from turning into mashed peas. My kids are now adults, my mind is only slightly mushy, and I am thrilled to have the honor of presenting my work to you!
