Scolla’s Web Tour
Man I am so sorry I’m late on this but if you didn’t get your hands on the four tracks Scolla released back in January and February then here is your chance to hear some new tracks that are so nice that they owned Twitter for a couple of weeks before SXSW.
Late Friday night Scolla shot me a couple tweets to check up and make sure that we were doing alright out here on the left side of the country. After exchanging some pleasantries he let me know that he is finishing up some more projects and getting ready to tour this Summer. If you didn’t know he was a featured artist at SXSW, marking his third year at the festival.
Ramona Falls: Prophet is Now Available for Pre-Order
Posted in Alternative, Folk Rock, Indie Rock on April 10, 2012
Ramona Falls‘ sophomore release, Prophet, is now available for you to pre-order. The album will be released through Barsuk Records on May 1st and shortly after the Brent Knopf lead four-piece group will begin touring. Dates should be released soon.
Two tracks have been released for your listening pleasure, “Spore” and “Squorm”. Also Arcade44.tv caught up with Knopf and bassist Dave Lowensohn at SXSW last month to talk about Prophet. I enjoy Knopf‘s sense of humor, mostly because of his dead-pan delivery. As you may or may not know Knopf is a former member of Menomena, he left the group back in January of 2011 after the release of Mines. The departure has allowed him to focus more on the cultivation of his song writing with Ramona Falls.
Pulp Reunites!
Posted in Alternative on April 10, 2012
Last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon British alternative rock group Pulp reunited to play two songs. It was their first performance in the US since 1998. “Common People” has to be one of most favorite tracks of all time, even though I might like it most when William Shatner performs it

La Sera – Sees The Light
Posted in Alternative, Indie Pop, Indie Rock on March 22, 2012
I’m back baby!! Early March is always a very hard time for me because my day job revolves around college basketball and we all know how distracting March Madness can be . After a week and a half on the road, my mind is packed full of ideas on artists to write about. So before my head explodes I have to tell you all about La Sera.
Le Sera is a project by Katy Goodman (Vivian Girls, All Saints Day) and she is set to release Sees the Light, a follow-up to last year’s self titled album, on March 27th. Usually “side projects” don’t get past the first album, so that should be a great indication to you that the new work has got to be worth a listen.

Moonlight Bride: Twin Lakes
Posted in Alternative, Indie Rock, Noise Pop on February 15, 2012
Chattanooga based noise-pop band Moonlight Bride will release their new EP, Twin Lakes, on Feb 28th. But because this blog is so über cool I was forwarded a copy of the EP before the release date. Yes… yes the On the Couch crew gets stuff early, I can’t believe it either.
Phony Ppl: Phonyland
It isn’t often you can get your hands on complete albums for free these days. Especially from a large group of talented musicians. If you read my posts you know I love music that feature musicians. It is astounding how many popular artists aren’t musicians and rely on synthetic noise makers to create music.
