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 fifth album and their fourth in a row to break into the top ten of the UK album charts. It would also be the first 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 first time. This expanded edition features the complete album across three sides of vinyl, plus a selection of bonus tracks on side four. Newly remastered by Phil Kinrade at AIR Mastering and pressed on 180g translucent green (LP1) and black (LP2) vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve with poly-lined inner bags. Whilst Carter USM are no longer active, Jim Bob plays a sold out show at Shepherd's Bush Empire in London in April, and Les 'Fruitbat' Carter will be touring the UK across 2025 with his group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.
