Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine, often abbreviated to Carter USM, is an iconic British indie rock duo known for their energetic music, satirical lyrics, and distinctive blend of punk rock and electronic beats. Formed in 1987 in London, the group consists of frontman James "Jim Bob" Morrison and guitarist, vocalist, and keyboardist Leslie "Fruitbat" Carter. The band quickly made a name for themselves with their incisive social commentary and innovative use of samplers and drum machines, which set them apart in the British alternative music scene.

Carter USM’s early 90s era saw them achieve significant chart success with hits such as "Sheriff Fatman" and "The Only Living Boy in New Cross," garnering a loyal fan base and critical acclaim. Their penchant for pointed critique of contemporary British culture, wrapped in catchy melodies and high-octane performances, resonated with a generation. While the band originally split in 1998, they have since reunited for various tours and live recordings, solidifying their legacy with enhanced editions of their classic albums and a slew of live albums capturing the raucous energy of their shows. Their recent releases, such as "Hello, Good Evening, Welcome. And Goodbye (Live)" and "The Final Comedown (Live at Brixton Academy)," give longtime fans and newcomers a taste of their electrifying live performances and the enduring appeal of their music.
