Couch Flambeau - Couch Flambeau

Review by Didier Leclaire

Couch Flambeau, the self-titled album by the Wisconsin-based band, is a raw and energetic punk rock record that harkens back to the genre's early days. The album features 12 tracks that are full of snarling guitars, driving basslines, and pounding drums, all delivered with an irreverent attitude that is both fun and infectious.

From the opening track "Killer Cows" to the closing number "The Ballad of the Unemployed," Couch Flambeau never lets up, delivering one hook after another. The band's sound is reminiscent of classic punk acts like The Ramones and The Clash, but with a distinctly Midwestern twist. The lyrics are clever and often humorous, with songs like "I Know a Place" and "Don't Try This at Home" showcasing the band's wit and sarcasm.

About Couch Flambeau

Couch Flambeau is an American punk rock band, formed in 1981 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The band is known for the biting wit of their lyrics. They have released four full length albums: Mammal Insect Marriage (1983) (on Ludwig Van Ear Records), The Day the Music Died (1985) and Ghostride (1989) (both on It's Only a Record Records), and a self-titled CD (1998). They have also released two tapes, Curiosity Rocks (as Couch Potatoes in 1982 - allegedly recorded in only 6 hours) and Rock With Your Sock On (1987), as well as an EP, Models (1987), and, finally, a 37 song career overview entitled I Did a Power Slide in the Taco Stand: Anthology 1982-2001 was released in 2004. Couch Flambeau was formed by two Greendale, WI High School friends, guitarist Jay Tiller and drummer Ron Faiola (aka Ron Ford/Giant Wow) in 1980. Their first shows were in the fall of 1981 at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee's dormitories under the name Couch Potatoes. For these shows, Tiller and Faiola would wear pyjamas and paper bags over their heads while playing early versions of songs that ended up on the first Couch Potatoes release, Curiosity Rocks.

Summary by Didier Leclaire

Couch Flambeau is a solid debut album that should appeal to fans of old-school punk rock. It may not reinvent the wheel, but it's a fun and entertaining ride from start to finish. If you're looking for a dose of raw, unfiltered rock and roll, give this album a spin.

Couch Flambeau wrote a song about how annoying Spike Hyzer is. He mad.
