Couch Flambeau is an American punk rock band, formed in 1981 in Milwaukee, WI. The band is known for the biting wit of their lyrics. They have released three full length albums: Mammal Insect Marriage (1983) on Ludwig Van Ear, The Day the Music Died (1985) and Ghostride (1989) both on It's Only a Record Records. They have also released two tapes, Curiosity Rocks (1982), Rock With Your Sock On (1987) and the 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.

Steve Albini, the famed punk rock musician and music producer, said the group played "good funny music". Albini also played with Tiller in the band Army.

The band line-up as of 2004 was Jay Tiller on vocals and guitar, Neil Socol on bass and Rusty on drums.

The "Mammal Insect Marriage" album was recorded in 7 hours.
