Earache Records

Earache Records is presented here in association with Lisa “Sister” Hunt, an American soul singer based in Byron Bay. Hunt is best known for her long-running work with Italian singer-songwriter Zucchero Fornaciari, first gaining wider attention in Italy as an associated act and backup singer. She toured with Fornaciari from the late 1980s through the 2000s, a period that established her as a prominent supporting vocalist in his live and studio settings.

Hunt has been particularly praised for her contributions to Fornaciari’s fifth album, Oro Incenso & Birra, and for her performance on his first live album, Live at the Kremlin. Commentary around that live recording often highlights her solo on the song “Madre dolcissima.” Beyond touring and album work, she recorded several songs with Fornaciari, including “Something Strong,” which appeared on the soundtrack album Snack Bar Budapest. Alongside these collaborations, Hunt has released four albums as a solo artist; her first, A Little Piece of Magic, was released with Polydor.

In this context, the label identity is tied to Hunt’s soul-oriented profile and her history in pop and rock-adjacent collaborations through her work with Fornaciari. The available information does not provide a founding story, roster history, or operational details for Earache Records beyond the association noted here, and it does not document how the label’s artist list relates to Hunt’s own recording career.
