NEW YORK (Top40 Charts/ Hyena Records) - Backyard Tire Fire have just released a video for 'How In The Hell Did We Get Back Here?' off their acclaimed new album, 'The Places We Lived', on Hyena Records. Filmed in their hometown of Bloomington, Illinois, the footage captures the Midwestern, blue collar spirit that shapes the band's music.

Director Filipe Bessa explains: 'What always struck us about Backyard Tire Fire is the idea of the musicians and the music coming from a working-class background and really embracing what that means by approaching their music as their craft. Upholding an artist as a craftsman is very important to us, because art shouldn't be looked at as something we do to 'express ourselves,' but rather as a craft, worked within and around its own contexts and environments. The local musician has a lot more in common with the local mechanic than we tend to imagine. Ideally they both represent what makes up the American landscape as we know it. The joy and the sadness of work are present in both, and that's a powerful correlation.'

Backyard Tire Fire will remain on the road throughout 2008.

Here's some of what the press has been saying about 'The Places We Lived':

'The perfect primer for a group that truly is one of rock's best kept secrets.' - PopMatters

'They've gone from a little loveable band from the Midwest to 'band to watch' status.' - Nine Bullets

'Exhibiting sturdy musical growth and maturity, BTF populates the impressively constructed The Places We Lived with rootsy rock & roll that is both familiar and fresh.' - All Music Guide

'The Places We Lived has obvious twang-rock influences, but with and abundance of piano peppering the album it moves far beyond. Whatever it is, it's damn good. It makes me wish I had a beer and nowhere to go.' - Can You See The Sunset
