Carter USM, I freely admit cross the line from Rock but they are fun, energetic and have so many catchy tunes. If Carter are a new (well old) name, their band name is probably as daft as the pair behind the moniker - Jim Bob and Fruitbat (I kid not).
Formed 1988 by Jim Morrison and guitarist Les Carter the pair inject energy and a sense of humour into an energetic punk/powerpop.
The debut
101 Damnations
offers classics such as
Twenty Four Minutes From Tulse Hill and
Sheriff Fatman both still live favourites.1994's
Worry Bomb
is an essential purchase more for the limited edition Live in Zagreb concert cd capturing the madness live
The Only Boy in New Cross, Granny Farming in the UK, and
Sing Fat Lady Sing. There are a few compilations to choose from but the
You Fat Bastard
anthology two cd collection is a good start.
The two got back together in 2009 for shows at the O2 Brixton Academy and HMV Forum. Both shows were captured by
Concert Live and released as two triple disc packages
Carter USM- Live at Brixton Academy- 14.11.2009
and
The Drum Machine Years Volume 2 (1992-1993) Live at London Forum 13.11.2009
that's if you can find them as both of these releases were limited to 1,000 copies each.
