Formed in 1987 by Fruitbat and Jim Bob, Carter The Unstoppable Sex
Machine burst onto the scene with their signature style of punk-pop infused
with samples, drum machines, and social commentary.Released in 1995,
'Worry Bomb' was Carter USM's ffth album and their fourth in a row to break
into the top ten of the UK album charts
It would also be the frst to feature their new drummer, Wez, marking a shift away from
the famous drum machine sound. The album mixed things up musically, balancing
mellow acoustic tracks like 'My Defeatist Attitude' with Carter's signature high-energy
indie rock, including 'Let's Get Tattoos' and The Young Offenders Mum which both hit
the UK top 40.
To mark the 30th anniversary of the album, 'Worry Bomb' is reissued for the frst time.
Featuring the original album newly remastered on CD 1 (including the singles 'Let's
Get Tattoos' and 'The Young Offender's Mum'), a new collection of B-sides and rarities
on CD 2, 'Avon Calling!' - a newly restored and remastered recording of the band at the
Phoenix Festival on CD 3, and a DVD with music videos, a performance of 'Let's Get
Tattoos' from Top Of The Pops', and exclusive new interview featurettes with Jim Bob
and Fruitbat.
Whilst Carter USM are no longer active, Jim Bob plays a sold out show at Shepherd's
Bush Empire in London in April, and Les 'Fruitbat' Carter will be touring the UK across
2025 with his group Abdoujaparov.
