Fuel at the Fillmore December 4, 2009

Fans will be gassed when Fuel brings their modern rock-radio friendly brand of music to the Fillmore. On the heels of their successful 1998 début album ‘Sunburn’, the band is touring again with a new album under their belt called ‘Something Like Human’. This time out, the Pennsylvania-based group mine the depths of alterna-rock skilfully if not shamelessly. Yet the heavily influenced result (sounding at turns like everyone from Pearl Jam to Live to Tool) still manages to carve out a bit of signature sound. Refreshingly the songs manage to stay away from the typically mindless digressions of life’s little miseries. It’s mostly a lot of fun, guitar-driven sound. Nickelback and Full Devil Jacket open the show.
