Fuel Information

'Fuel' is an American alternative rock and post-grunge band formed by friends Carl Bell, Jeff Abercrombie and Brett Scallions in 1989. The band was formed in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where, before gaining national acclaim, it played local Pennsylvania bars and nightclubs.
Known foremost for their singles "Shimmer" and "Hemmorhage (In My Hands)," Fuel is also known for their large tours. Fuel has released three full length albums: Sunburn (singles: "Shimmer," "Bittersweet," "Jesus or a Gun," "Sunburn"); Something Like Human (singles: "Hemmorhage (In My Hands)," "Bad Day," "Innocent," "Last Time"; and Natural Selection (single: "Falls on Me"). Their particular style of post-grunge alternative rock can be described as sounding like R.E.M. by way of Nirvana.
Fuel was forced to call off tour dates after an on-stage accident lead to lead singer Brett Scallions' nose being broken. Forced to have surgery, he had to relearn how to sing for the recording of Natural Selection.
Notably, one of their songs "Won't back down" features on the soundtrack to the film Daredevil.
After disagreements (both public and private), drummer Kevin Miller was dismissed from the band in 2004.
Fuel will be releasing its greatest hits album, The Best of Fuel on December 13th, 2005
