Backyard Tire Fire
is an American trio that formed in Asheville, NC in 2001. The band began in the fall of that year with founding members Ed Anderson (vocals, guitars, keyboards) and Tim Kramp (drums, percussion). After encountering several line-up changes, the Tire Fire moved from Asheville to Athens, Georgia in 2002. They (along with then-bass player Warren Hawk) released their first album Live at the Georgia Theatre
later that year.
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 band has since released an additional 3 albums and 2 EPs, the most recent LP being Vagabonds and Hooligans
(released February 6, 2007). They have also undertaken a number of regional and national tours and are currently preparing for the release of their new record The Places We Lived
on Aug. 26th 2008 on NYC-based label HYENA Records.
