Biography
After the release of their debut album, Backyard Tire Fire relocated once again to Bloomington, Illinois and added Anderson’s brother Matt (bass, vocals) into the mix. The Anderson brothers had originally grown up in St. Charles, IL, Tim Kramp in Bloomington, IL and Ed Anderson received his masters in Interpersonal Communication from Illinois State University (located in Normal, IL, Bloomington’s sister town). They recorded and released their first self-titled studio record in 2004 which was produced by Tony SanFilippo and recorded in analog at SanFilippo’s Oxide Lounge in Bloomington, IL. This began the relationship between BTF and SanFilippo who produced and recorded their next three albums and 2 EPs.
2005 brought the release of Bar Room Semantics which was the first record to receive national recognition in the press from Harp Magazine and AllMusic.com. The band began touring heavily on a national scale in 2006 supporting artists like The Mother Hips, Will Hoge, North Mississippi Allstars as well as playing festivals like South by Southwest, High Sierra Music Festival in California, and 10,000 Lakes Festival in Minnesota.

They're so diverse, you really have to give their catalog some browsing to get a good idea of their sound. Compare Downtime to Home Today. They're awesome! great live show at http://www.archive.org/details/BTF2009-03-26.matrix

I'd have to disagree with you bsearle32 about their live show, they bring it more than almost any trio that I've seen. Check out this show from Madison last month: http://www.archive.org/details/BackyardTireFire2008-02-16
