Fuel

Formed in Kenton, Tennessee, US, the band came together in 1989, featuring singer/guitarist Brett Scallions, guitarist Carl Bell, bassist Jeff Abercrombie and drummer Kevin Miller. Having established their presence on the local scene, Fuel relocated to Pennsylvania in 1993, hoping to find a more fertile ground for their music to develop.

They made their record debut in 1996with the independently released EP, "Porcelain," which became a local success, bolstered by radio airplay of their single, "Shimmer." Sony's 550 imprint saw the band's potential and signed them to their roster, releasing the "Hazleton" EP in 1997 before then releasing their debut album, "Sunburn," in 1998. 'Shimmer" again became a hit, almost breaking into Billboard's Top 40. Bolstered by three further hit singles, Fuel's debut was certified Platinum, establishing the band on the hard rock scene.

Their second effort, "Something Like Human" was released in 2000, prompting further commercial success, reaching number 12 on the Billboard album charts and selling double-Platinum. 2003's "Natural Selection" continued to find Fuel hits, with the lead single, "Falls on Me," although it failed to muster the same number of sales as previous albums.

After releasing a greatest hits album, lead singer Scallions decided to depart from the band, wishing to pursue other musical interests. Toryn Green became a worthy replacement, making his debut on the band's fourth record, "Angels & Devils." Miller also left the drum stool, with Fuel filling the void with both Tommy Stewart (ex-Godsmack) and John Freese (Nine Inch Nails/A Perfect Circle). The album appeared in 2007, finding moderate chart success.

Scallions returned in 2010, with the band continuing to tour across the US. They returned to the studio in 2012, beginning work on their fifth full-length, enlisting producer Eddie Wohl to work on the album. The record saw an eventual release in March 2014, with the album breaking into the Billboard's album chart's Top 100 at number 77 upon its debut.
