Fuel
All Music Guide
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 Sonys 550 imprint, which released the EP Hazelton the following year. The bands debut full-length, Sunburn, appeared in 1998. Again, Shimmer proved Fuels 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. Fuels 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 2003s Natural Selection, which was another Billboard success thanks to the strident lead single Falls on Me. Best of Fuel appeared in late 2005; Scallions amicably parted ways with the band early the next year. That spring, Fuel was randomly impressed by American Idol contestant Chris Daughtrys cover of Hemorrage (In My Hands) during the shows fifth season. They offered him the position of Scallions replacement, but Daughtry ultimately turned down singing with the group to do his own thing. Undeterred, Fuel found a new singer by summer 2006 and began work on their fouth studio album.
