"On the heels of Fuel's signing with 550 Music, drummer Jody Abbott was replaced by Kevin Miller. Band members have refused to comment on the change until details are settled" ...

"Speaking of Fuel, watch for vocalist Brett Scallions on the slopes tomorrow at Ski Roundtop. The avid snow board rider is taking part in the downhill action and musical entertainment of Spring Fest '98. Fuel is among five rock band performing in the event sponsored by WQXA 105.7 'The X' radio station."

"Fuel just returned from Los Angeles, where it was making its first video 'Shimmer.' It's touring in support of 'Sunburn,' its debut released this month on Sony 550. While it's already a staple on college radio, it's aiming to break through across the country with 'Sunburn.'"
