1. Fuel is an American alternative rock/post-grunge band formed by friends Carl Bell, Jeff Abercrombie and Brett Scallions in 1989. Originally from Tennessee, Fuel moved to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where they played local Pennsylvania bars and nightclubs. Their first EP Porcelin was released in 1996, and sold well locally, spawning a small radio hit with "Shimmer." The popularity of the EP brought them to the attention of Sony's 550 imprint, which released their second EP, Hazelton, the following year. The band's full length debut, Sunburn, came out in 1998. Shimmer was again included, and almost became a Top 40 hit, while the other singles ("Bittersweet," "Jesus or a Gun," "Sunburn") received some airplay. After laying low for two and a half years, Fuel came back with their second album, Something Like Human, in 2000, and scored a Top 40 hit with "Hemorrage (In My Hands)" (#17), as well as going platinum with the album. A third album, Natural Selection, came out in 2003, and was another big seller. Their songs have been featured on the movie soundtracks including the movie Daredevil which featured the song, "Won't Back Down" and their rendition of "We Three Kings" was included on a Christmas compilation album. Fuel also recorded a song titled "Walk the Sky" for the Godzilla soundtrack. Fuel released its greatest hits album, The Best of Fuel on December 13th, 2005. On February 7, 2006, Fuel announced through their website that singer Brett Scallions had left the band. The band (now just Carl Bell and Jeff Abercrombie) said that he left on friendly terms. "We will all miss him and we wish him the best", Carl wrote in a letter on their website. Fuel is auditioning for a new singer and are in preparation for creating their 4th studio album. In May 2006, Fuel offered American Idol contestant Chris Daughtry their lead singer slot, but he turned it down to perform on his own. Finally Fuel released a 4th album, Angels & Devils, with Toryn Green as new singer.
2) Fuel formed in 1989 and thrived in the early 90's post-hardcore scene. They were from the San Francisco Bay Area, though you wouldn't know it to listen to them. They combined melody, power, and raw emotion to create both personal and political songs. They had a post-punk "DC" sound akin to Fugazi or early Hot Water Music with twin guitars and dueling rough post hardcore vocals and aggressive and intricate drumming. If anything, they were a bridge between the coasts since the bands they were closest to in terms of friendship were Jawbreaker (in fact, they recorded a Jawbreaker cover, but put an unused vocal track from a different song over it), Samiam, Cringer, and Monsula.
After a few recording sessions at Gilman, they had their own self-published demo. A song recorded with Alex Sergay in the fall of 1989 later ended up on the Very Small Records compilation "If You Can See Through it... It Ain't Coffee." They recorded with Kevin Army in February and March of 1990, and released their self-titled LP "Fuel" in 1990 containing 10 songs on Sixth International/Rough Trade Records. The same recording sessions yielded four other songs which were released as a 7" on Lookout! Records the same year. Both were well received by critics.
Over the next two years, they toured and played locally and hit the studio a few more times to lay down some tracks which would end up on split 7s with Phleg Camp and Angry Son respectively as well as a few compilations. Most of their work was later re-released by Allied Records in 1995. The discography was called "Monuments to Excess" and featured more or less the same artwork as the original LP.
Fuel split in 1991. Fuel was Mike Kirsch on guitar/vocals, Aaron Arroyo on bass, Jim Allison on guitar/vocals, and Jeff Stofan on drums. Mike Kirsch has been in numerous Bay Area bands such as The Skinflutes, early Pinhead Gunpowder, Navio Forge, Torches to Rome, Bread and Circuits, and Please Inform the Captain This is a Hijack. He's currently playing guitar in Baader Brains. Jeff Stofan has also been in numerous bands including Monsula most notably.
Twenty years later, and people still talk about Fuel. One of the members started and maintains the band's official website as a tribute and scrapbook to a time he obviously loved.
3) Fuel - the Scottish band, had strong connections and a similar guitar sound to quintessential ethereal band "Cocteau Twins". Formed by Hamish McKintosh in 1987 and produced by the Cocteau Twins guitarist Robin Guthrie, a first album "The back of this beyond" was released. Undeterred Hanish produced a second album which was due to be released but the collapse of the record label meant this was postponed. In 1994 the ep "Timeless" was released with major contributions from the Cocteau Twins, including the vocal talents of Elizabeth Fraser on the song "Butterfly Knife" and Robin Guthrie's inimitable sound on the astounding shoegazer should be classic "Wildfire".
4) Fuel - Serbian Nightwish tribute band located in Pancevo.

Fuel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I shouldn't have said
But you lie
Sometimes
And say you
Just don't feel a thing
We tried to explain
What we, were feeling then
The words just
Seem to fade away
That night, you seemed
To grab, my hand
For a moment, you smiled
And I thought you
Might be mine tonight
We watched the sunset
Over our, small town
I tried, to kiss you
But you
Turned and walked away
Hide your eyes and wipe
Those tears, away
We left, words, unsaid
But oh well
Until we meet again
, this song by Fuel is called "Again" and is about dealing with someone who is constantly lying to you and causing you pain. The lyrics start off by acknowledging that these lies have once again made an appearance in the relationship, and that it's taking a toll on the singer's emotions. The second verse continues with the theme of deception, with the apology only serving to make the situation worse. It's clear that this person is not trustworthy and that the singer has come to the point of realizing that he needs to wash his hands of the situation.
The chorus serves as a declaration of independence, with the singer vowing never to see this person again. He hopes that this decision will cause the other person to feel the pain that they've caused him, while the singer is willing to deal with his own feelings and move on with his life. The final verse is an acknowledgment that this person is still trying to manipulate the singer, with a fake smile and more lies, but it's clear that the singer is done with the relationship.
Overall, "Again" is a powerful song about standing up for yourself and refusing to let someone continue to hurt you. It's a message of empowerment that many people can relate to, especially those who have been in similar situations.

I guess the lies called your name again
The continuous deception from you has come back to haunt me.
The black you keep inside
The darkness in your personality is evident yet again.
Reared its ugly head again
Your negative traits resurfaced and it's not pretty.
I wash my hands this time
I'm done and I refuse to be entangled in your web of lies anymore.
If I never see your face again
Hope it eats you up inside
If I never feel this place again
At least I'll feel my pride, oh
I won't let your toxicity drag me down and I hope our separation will make you realize your faults.
Apologies only now condemn
Your empty apologies no longer have any effect.
Honesty slips by
You have a hard time being truthful and it's starting to show.
Bitter now and you were bitter then
Darkness is your guide
You were never pleasant and your negativity is ingrained in your character.
On your face is that old forgive me smile
For an inch all I know is you'll take that mile
On your tongue you can't hold is another lie
Trying to get into my head
You're trying to manipulate me yet again with your fake apologies and lies, but I'm not falling for it anymore.
