Carl Bell returned to band

In 2020, founding member and primary songwriter Carl Bell decided to return to the band, forming a new version of the group. According to Bell, this was more or less a rebirth of Fuel and a new era for the band. Bell reunited with former drummer Kevin Miller to reform the group. Together they recruited a new singer, John Corsale, who at the time was the frontman for Miller’s band Smashed. They began rehearsing in the summer of 2020 and later began working on what would become Fuel’s 6th full-length album. During that time, the band also released Something Like Human on vinyl for the first time. Anomaly was released on October 22, 2021. Bell wrote and performed all instruments on Anomaly with Corsale performing vocals. Bell also produced and mixed the album. The first single, “Hard”, was released on July 9. The album’s second single, “Don’t Say I”, was released on August 20, 2021. On July 20, 2022, original drummer Jody Abbott died of Huntington’s disease at age 55 after living with the disease for multiple years. In October 2022, John Corsale was removed from the band for publicly undisclosed reasons. He was later replaced by Aaron Scott, who had performed “Hemorrhage” on national television (in this instance, The Voice ).
