As we've said before, we've been fans of these guys for years now and they're super musicians and plain good people.

All that RSD excitement aside, in [...]
Welcome to the first Top List for It's Time to Play B-Sides . I've considered doing one of these lists every year since 2006, but never before have I had a year filled with as many really great albums that have compelled me to compile a year-end list. 2010 has been a pretty busy year for me as far as music has been concerned. Some fantastic concerts and events and some really interesting local (Eastern Iowa) releases have come out. This list represents releases that spent the most time on my playlist- in some cases I have had direct [...]
Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti Before Today Released June 8, 2010 (4AD) Short Notes: Scenester, Animal Collective bud washes off the taint of association, gets hi-fi. BRANDON: A Hot off the heels of yesterday's anointment of "Round and Round" (this album's "single") as the track of the year by the folks over at Pitchfork, this record now comes with the endorsement of (at least) half the writers here at She's Making Whoopee in Hell . Like the Beach [...]

Payton's Big Damn Band and Juniper Tar . Tomorrow night they're at Club Garibaldi in Milwaukee with Mark Olson of The Jayhawks fame. We caught up with Ed Anderson of Backyard Tire Fire for a quick chat before they hit the state line. You released Good To Be [...]
Official | Download "Brady" for free | Buy album for $5 This is my college radio find of the day. While driving to work this came on and I was instantly hooked, I even started singing along to the chorus. Part of the instant attraction is that this story of "boy meets Amsterdam prostitute" sounds very similar to a story I heard once from some friends, so I couldn't help but laugh as the plot unfolded. It is one of those great silly stories that sounds best told in song. Paste Magazine said this [...]
Road warriors Backyard Tire are in Chicago tonight for a big bash at the Double Door which is being recorded for radio station WXRT's live "Sunday Night Concert" series, and then swings east to New York City at the Bowery Ballroom on August 3rd, opening Los Lobos' CD release show. A longtime Earvolution favorite, BTF is building some deserved momentum for their new record Good to Be, which was

Touring in support of Good to Be , their fifth full-length record produced by Steve Berlin (Los Lobos), Illinois' Backyard Tire Fire swung through the venerable Middle East Upstairs for a quick, spirited set. Unfortunately, the superior quality of the music did not reflect the quantity of the crowd. Perhaps the word on these rockers hasn't spread to the dense Mass. Ave scene, because for all intents and purposes, the few of us there enjoyed a near private show. With bright lights illuminating their faces and Budweiser tall boys in hand, Backyard Tire [...]
I reviewed Good To Be, the new record from Backyard Tire Fire, in this issue of the Tucson Weekly:An all-too-common trap for Americana bands is to lay down an easy beat and dial in some twang. Bloomington, Ill., trio Backyard Tire Fire settles in miles away from that cookie-cutter approach, mixing barreling roadhouse rockers with lean, catchy, soulful tunes. The band plays with a versatile
In the time I’ve been writing about these guys here on ninebullets they’ve gone from a little lovable band from the Midwest to “band to watch” status. Having completed nationwide tours with a whole list of ninebullets favorites such as Jason Isbell, Clutch, and William Elliot Whitmore, Bloomington, IL’s Backyard Tire Fire are back in 2010 on their own label and with a new album, Good To Be . In previous reviews/articles I've routinely mentioned that these guys could have easily slid into the Capricorn-era sound. I can not say [...]
By: David Schultz After choosing a lifestyle that had him on the road for long stretches of time, Bob Seger lost the forest for the trees, cataloging the downside of being a world famous rock and roll star on “Turn The Page.” Fellow Midwesterners Backyard Tire Fire travel down some similar highways on Good To Be, their fifth studio album. Seger saw the glass as half empty; Tire Fire’s Ed
:: Apparently NME readers thought Lady Gaga was the best and worst dressed this year. :: If you're wondering how band's get ready for tour, just ask Titus Andronicus . I heard that Titus was coming back to Louisville in April after their in-store at Ear X-Tacy in March. :: When a music blog discusses the merits of Repo Man , all is right in the world. :: I missed Backyard Tire Fire when they came to [...]
Sitting in the back room of Gerstle's – Backyard Tire Fire 's bar room home of choice this particular evening – singer/guitarist Ed Anderson, bassist Matt Anderson, and drummer Tim Kramp are sucking on cigarettes, drinking some beer, and ordering dinner before tonight’s show. They laugh a lot and are very charismatic, as if somehow they could be the embodiment of the quirky characters they write about in song. Musically speaking the band is as much classic rock, as college rock, as southern rock – a band where R.E.M., [...]
There was no highly anticipated new release like Yeasayer or Massive Attack this week. But there were some promising albums from Field Music , Lightspeed Champion and Backyard Tire Fire .

Over the course of more than a decade Backyard Tire Fire have released music that has welded melodies and hooks to a down-and-dirty rock n' roll framework. The band now return with Good To Be. The album, produced by Steve Berlin of Los Lobos, is the band's fifth full length. Those who love gritty indie rock, and I count myself among them, get a good fix on Good To Be.
