Pull songwriters away from their familiar songwriting habits and inspire them to collaborate in new ways that stretch them outside of their comfort zones. Many authors. One book. Now go write it. Fast forward to now, with a full band (and the drum machine sitting quietly on the shelf watching jealousy) of Jeff Baars on drums (Mike Johnson, Long Dark Moon) and Samantha Wilder on bass (Princess).&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Oceanwires have shared their new single Fuel + Reasons lifted from the band&#8217;s debut album &#8216;There Never Was A Was&#8217;, which will be out on <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=30354\" title=\"Oceanwires shares new single &#8216;Fuel + Reasons&#8217;\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30355,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"On Culture Addicts: Oceanwires shares new single 'Fuel + Reasons'","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[22,23,28,29,30],"tags":[7887,7803,7804],"class_list":["post-30354","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guitar-rock","category-indie","category-music","category-music-video","category-new-release","tag-fuel-reasons","tag-oceanwires","tag-there-never-was-a-was"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Photo2_OCEANWIRES_by_Niffer_Calderwood_5117.jpg?fit=2500%2C1667&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-7TA","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":30140,"url":"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=30140","url_meta":{"origin":30354,"position":0},"title":"Oceanwires release new single &#8216;Beware the Heartless&#8217;","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"November 16, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Seattle-based band Oceanwires have\u00a0revealed the first single Beware The Heartless from their forthcoming LP\u00a0'There Never Was A Was'\u00a0on February 15 (pre-order).
