Fuel
Band Jackson United States Formed 1994 American rock / post‐grunge band
Fuel formed in 1994 in Jackson, United States. Fuel has 159 chart appearances on 113 radio countdowns from 45 stations on RockLists, spanning 1997–2026. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Hemorrhage (In My Hands)”, which appears on 47 lists with a best position of #4. In total the artist has topped 1 countdown. The station that charted Fuel most often is 105.9 The X (Pittsburgh, PA), with 11 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2001.
Fuel ran on Carl Bell's songs: the guitarist wrote them, and Brett Scallions sang them with a gravelly, gut-level howl, with Jeff Abercrombie on bass and Jody Abbott on drums. They cut their teeth on independent releases, the Porcelain EP in 1996 and Hazleton the year after, and then 550 Music and Epic signed them up. Their debut album, Sunburn, arrived in 1998 carrying "Shimmer", a big, bruised post-grunge ballad that gave them their first hit and anchored a platinum record.
Something Like Human, with Kevin Miller now on drums, turned the dial up. "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" was the heart-on-sleeve power ballad at its center, "Bad Day" and "Innocent" followed it onto the radio, and the album went double-platinum. Their songs landed on soundtracks too, from Godzilla and Scream 3 to Daredevil and A Walk to Remember. Natural Selection, in 2003, brought "Falls On Me", and it turned out to be the last album Bell and Scallions made together.
Scallions left in 2006, Toryn Green took over the mic for Angels & Devils, and then the name started changing hands: Bell leased it to Scallions in 2010, Scallions released Puppet Strings with a new lineup in 2014, and in 2020 the rights went back to Bell, who put together a new version of the band with Miller back behind the kit.
