Bio

Ben Usher started on the journey to Dead West in 1999 after his brother moved away. Without a guitarist, it was time to fill the void and so he picked up the axe.

Dead West was released, locally, in August 2003 after 10 months in the studio (Mad Dog Productions) and more than a year before Ben's goal. Now, 27 and ready to take on the world, Dead West the band has finally been formed featuring Carlos Iglesias on bass and Grant Stein on drums. They are currently gearing up for tour in the U.S. followed by a Euro-tour.
