Groucho, the rock band hailing from Tulsa, Oklahoma, has returned with their latest single and accompanying video, "Blood in the Water."

The track opens with a mesmerizing guitar riff that immediately hooks the listener. As the song progresses, the trio of Dustin Howard, Royce Buckmaster, and Layne Farmen flawlessly weave together intricate melodies, pulsating basslines, and driving percussion. The result is a sonic journey that takes the listener through dynamic shifts, unexpected twists, and a constant sense of urgency.

Each artist’s contribution is masterfully crafted, allowing the music to sound expansive and rich.
