[edit] Life After Fuel

Carl has begun to focus primarily on TV and movie soundtracks and other aspects of producing and writing music.[2] Since no longer touring with Fuel, in 2010, he began working with the band Sandlot Heroes as well as writing with various other artists.[3]

[edit] Collaborations

Bell contributed an unreleased Fuel song "Sister Mary Innocent" renamed "Sister Mary" on Tommy Lee's 2005 solo album Tommyland: The Ride. He also plays guitar on the track.

Bell wrote a song "When You Come Around" with Chris Daughtry intended for the eponymous 2006 debut album of his rock band Daughtry, but it didn't make the final cut. Instead, Daughtry has been playing it live.[4]
