DIVE BAR RECORDS
Grassroots artists actualising their own cultural vision - a safe space for the UK alternative scene, and beyond.

Dive Bar Records is the vision of Ben O'Shea, Ruairi McLean, & Freya Millar, born from the North-West alternative scene.
With a combined three decades of experience as creatives working our way up, we know what it's like to be on the wrong side of an industry that's becoming increasingly manufactured.
- B. O'Shea, R. McLean & F. Millar
