The Autumn Defense have posted the first single from their forthcoming album online and have announced their tour plans. Don't know who The Autumn Defense is? Read on:

By day, John Stirratt and Patrick Sansone sell thousands of albums and tour the world as members of indie juggernaut Wilco, while lending their writing, playing and producing abilities to dozens of high-profile recordings. But by night these renowned pros are able to sit down, relax and create something special that comes straight from the heart of why they pursued music as a career - and that's The Autumn Defense.

The band recently made their first single from Once Around (11/2, Yep Roc) "Back of My Mind" available online here.
