Formed in Tennessee by guitarist/vocalist Carl Bell and long-time friend bassist Jeff Abercrombie, alt-pop foursome Fuel emerged with a self-produced EP, Porcelain, in 1996 that threw them right into the college music limelight. Joined by lead vocalist/guitarist Brett Scallions and drummer Kevin Miller, Fuel relocated to Harrisburg, Pa., where they topped the CMJ charts and earned a loyal fan base that stretched from New York to Washington, D.C. After a sold-out performance at Millersville University in Pennsylvania, Fuel's moment of glory came when an A&R rep from Sony 550 Music offered them a record contract. Their major label debut, Sunburn, was released in 1998.
