- C - Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine

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 Bastardanthology 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.
