I did the same at the beginning of this article so I went and checked In My Hands on the YouTubes and was like, “oh yeah! I remember.” Dumb though, because I know Filter is from Cleveland because of the Richard Patrick NIN connection.

He left, but then they let him be Fuel, but now he’s not Fuel… why? I assume the guy who owns Fuel Incorporated, at least, was getting paid a percentage through the ten years Brett had “Fuel” on the road. Maybe both of these guys were? Idk, just feels like there’s a piece of the story missing here. Why did he leave and why didn’t they do anything with him over the last ten years when he was representing them as a band they were no longer in? Not like it’s important, I’m just not seeing all the pieces. I’m going to assume it’s money and they were still making it.

Yeah, I owned a few too many of these sorts of CDs when I was in middle school, and Fuel’s was pretty damn good by comparison. Anyone remember Default? Probably for the best that you don’t, honestly the name escaped me too but what do you know they’re the top-listed “Fans Also Like” band for Fuel on Spotify. Anyway, that band was the first time I bought a CD based on the single (“Wasting My Time,” it’s, um, not a 10) and realized in horror that no matter how much I listened there was not one other passably decent song on the whole album.

I loved “Shimmer” a ton when it dropped. That was right around the time I was starting to get into modern rock (I was 13/14) and it hit the right angst chords for me. I had the single of it, then got the album, Sunburn, and stayed into them long enough to get the second album, Something Like Human. But they were way in my rearview mirror by the time the third album came out (so of course that’s what they won Grammys for, haha). Hadn’t thought about them in a while, had no idea there’d been all that lineup drama over the years.

Hemorrhage as well. And there was also that brief point where their song “Bad Day” seemed inescapable, but was eventually overshadowed by that other song with the same name.
