“Abdoujaparov bring the fun, spirit, singalong lines and, of course, the lead singer of 90s legends Carter USM – Les ‘Fruitbat’ Carter. He’s the man having most fun by miles and is endearing, funny and a good old fashioned frontman.” - Gary Trueman, Devolution Magazine

“Watching Abdoujaparov live is the closest I'll ever get to seeing Carter. Love them.” - Jim Bob
