The Autumn Defense

The Autumn Defense

The Autumn Defense is an indie band, composed of multi-instrumentalists John Stirratt and Pat Sansone.

History

The Autumn Defense began as a side project for Stirratt, who is best known for his work as bassist for alt-country bands Wilco and Uncle Tupelo. Stirratt collaborated with Sansone, who had been known for his work with Joseph Arthur and Josh Rouse, to produce a 1960s-style rock/pop album. This album, "The Green Hour", was released on Stirratt's own Broadmoor label, with Stirratt doing the bulk of the writing while Sansone focused on the technical recording aspects. The band did some light touring around the United States in between other projects.

The duo reconvened in 2002 to begin work on a follow-up. This album, "Circles," was released to critical acclaim in 2003 on the Arena Rock Recording Co. label. The band received press in the Chicago Tribune and the magazine "No Depression" following its release, and the band had a successful club tour behind it.

Since the release of "Circles," Sansone has joined Stirratt as part of Wilco's current six-man lineup. Stirratt also released an album with his sister, Laurie, entitled "Arabella" in 2004. The album was released on Stirratt's own Broadmoor Records.

Broadmoor released the band's self-titled record on January 16, 2007. The band embarked on a US tour in February and March 2007.

Broken Horse records released "The Autumn Defense" in the UK/Europe on February 25th 2008.
