    #42 - [Part 2] Earache Records; From Scum to Sofa ft. Al Dawson (and Digby Pearson)

    Part Two of our Earache Records deep dive — and this one went off-script. We sat down with Al Dawson (Earache US) to fact-check twenty years of label history… and then founder Digby Pearson, who it turns out was one of two people watching the stream, texted his way into the call — bringing an announcement with him: a new signing he describes as "one of the biggest pop producers in the world", making a death metal album for Earache. Also in this episode: – The tennis match that put Entombed on MTV – What Columbia really spent marketing Carcass's Heartwork — and what it sold – The Bring Me The Horizon Warped Tour merch call: "$50,000… a night" – The Repugnant demo Tobias Forge sent Earache, and never got a reply to – Skindred vs Universal: twelve staff against four hundred for a UK number one – Why Digby passed on Blood Incantation.
