Fuel
| Biography |
Alternative rockers Fuel comprised singer/guitarist Brett Scallions, guitarist Carl Bell, bassist Jeff Abercrombie, and drummer Kevin Miller. A product of Pennsylvania, the quartet debuted in 1996 with an independently released EP, Porcelain; the disc sold over 10,000 copies locally, with the single "Shimmer" becoming a major hometown radio favorite. Its success brought Fuel to the attention of Sony's 550 imprint, which released the EP Hazelton the following year. The band's debut full-length, Sunburn, appeared in 1998. Again, "Shimmer" proved Fuel's calling card, almost making the national Top 40 and -- with "Bittersweet," "Jesus or a Gun," and the title track (featured on the Scream 3 soundtrack) also earning airplay -- helping Sunburn to platinum record status. Fuel's second album, Something Like Human, followed two and a half years later. It spawned the hit "Hemorrage (In My Hands)" and reached 17 on the Billboard charts. Fuel followed that with 2003's Natural Selection, which was another Billboard success thanks to the strident lead single "Falls on Me." Best of Fuel appeared in late 2005. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide |
