“On Big Talk, [Couch] settles into a cashmere-soft blend of pop, soul, and R&B that feels like home. This album and their headlining [tour] cement Couch as one of Boston's most promising additions to the national music industry.” - The Boston Globe
"[Couch’s Big Talk] has warm, explosive melodies… expressive horns, bright synths and steady drums… I’m always blown away by her commanding vocals… By any measure, Couch is one of the most successful bands to emerge out of Boston in recent years.” - WBUR (NPR Boston)
"[Big Talk is] bold and brave, wounded and unflinching… glistening guitars, cinematic horns, and a molten vocal performance that smolders with pain and passion… a fiery, soul-stirring eruption – a stunning reclamation of agency, power, and voice" - Atwood Magazine
“Lush arrangements, bold storytelling, and a chemistry forged both in bedrooms and on stage.” - Live For Live Music
Couch spent nearly three years writing and recording remotely before ever stepping foot on a stage together. What began as a long-distance experiment between high school and college friends—crafting songs from bedrooms across the country—eventually fueled their self-titled debut EP and a string of singles, culminating in a breakout 20-city headline tour in 2022.
After returning home to Boston, the band released their sophomore EP, Sunshower, in 2023, followed by a two-part, 40-city U.S. headline tour, appearances at Boston Calling and Levitate, and a sold-out debut UK run.
They’ve since toured with Lake Street Dive and Cory Wong (Vulfpeck) on his U.S. and European tours, with past opening slots for St. Paul & The Broken Bones, Sammy Rae, and Ripe.
This fall, Couch released their debut full-length album Big Talk. The record signals a bold leap forward for the band, highlighted by their national TV debut on CBS Saturday Morning and a 40-city international headline tour featuring marquee stops at Roadrunner (Boston), The Fonda (LA), Brooklyn Steel (NYC), and 9:30 Club (DC).
Thumber:
Hailing from San Rafael, California, Thumber is a duo comprised of lifelong friends Eli Torgersen and Virgil Thunes. Thumber’s sound is a unique blend of heartfelt emotion and infectious grooves, merging raw, personal lyrics with beats that make you want to move.
Thumber’s debut EP, which is set to release this fall, is an encapsulation of their self-proclaimed “Indie Rock, Funk Pop Stew” that they’ve spent the past five years perfecting.
