Having been born and raised in one of the USA s most oil producing regions, he saw first-hand how the industry controls, deceives and damages the country, its people and the environm
Best Of Fuel features all the group's greatest hits including 'Hemorrhage (In My Hands)', 'Last Time', 'Falls On Me' and 'Jesus Or A Gun'. Epic. 2005.In
Something Like Human, the moody and brutally emotional rock band Fuel has a solid follow-up to their platinum
Sunburn disc from 1998. Produced by Ben Grosse (Filter, Vertical Horizon) and coproduced by Fuel guitarist-songwriter Carl Bell,
Something Like Human picks up where
Sunburn left off, both musically and emotionally! . From Brett Scallions's heart-wrenching vocal performance on the CD's first single, "Hemorrhage (in My Hands)," with its mournful reflections to the "Shimmer"-like "Slow," the bleak, dark temperament that characterized
Sunburn is continued. Even seemingly upbeat moments are buried deep in paranoia ("Knives") or leave a bitter taste ("Solace"). Not as dirge-heavy as Alice in Chains (though "Down" sounds like that band) or as commercially viable as Creed, Fuel nonetheless have the strong songs and melodies to make their doleful musical visions eminently memorable and quietly cool.
--Katherine TurmanEleven years in the making, FUEL is the in-depth personal journey of filmmaker and eco-evangelist Josh Tickell, who takes us on a hip, fast-paced road trip into America s dependence on foreign oil. Combining a history lesson of the US auto and petroleum industries and interviews with a wide range of policy makers, educators, and activists such as Woody Harrelson, She! ryl Crow, Neil Young and Willie Nelson. Animated by powerful g! raphics, FUEL looks into our future offering hope via a wide-range of renewable energy and bio-fuels. Winner of the Sundance Audience Award.
