Formed in 1987 by Les "Fruitbat" Carter and Jim "Jim Bob" Morrison, Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine burst onto the scene with their signature style of punk-pop infused with samples, drum machines, and social commentary. '1992 The Love Album' was Carter USM's debut release on Chrysalis Records and reached the No. 1 spot album on the UK Album Chart in May 1992, propelling the band to pop stardom.

Whilst the group are no longer active, Jim Bob is on a solo tour in Europe throughout September, and Les 'Fruitbat' Carter will be touring Europe from September to November with his group Abdoujaparov.
