Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine

Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine (also known as Carter USM or simply Carter) were an English indie rock band formed in 1987 by singer Jim "Jim Bob" Morrison and guitarist Les "Fruitbat" Carter. They made their name with a distinctive style of power pop, fusing samples, sequenced basses and drum machines with rock 'n' roll guitars and off-beat wordplay-loaded lyrics. They reached the height of their fame in 1992–1993. Over the following years the band took on new members, reaching a six-piece. They initially split up in 1998 after releasing seven albums.

In 2007, Carter USM reformed and continued to perform a small number of shows annually, without releasing any new material, until amicably splitting again at the end of 2014.
