When The Whip Goes Crack

Lyrics

Dive

A diamond lost in the waves,                              
sinking down to the sand,            
so far away from a pair of hands,    
but I can’t wait to dive in for you.   
                                         
With the windows open your sleeping till 
the rain stops (to pour)
But I can’t wait to dive in for you

You’ve plunged into a riddle below, 
Waiting for clues to unfold, 
Digging for your Truth to be told but
You’re blue as the ocean below,
Hoping they’ll untie the ropes,
Wondering if we’ll sink or float yea,
But I can’t wait to dive in for you 

With the windows open your sleeping till 
the rain stops (to pour)
But I can’t wait to dive in for you

Dive

Why the Name?

We left Madchester, behind in 1997, and landed in rural Cambridgeshire.

During this time, we worked with many different bands, genres and styles from the North to South of our great country. 

The A1(M) label takes its identity from "Great North Road". Where, since the 1950,s, bands have travelled the length and breadth of this backbone of English music, London to Edinburgh, playing live and building a fan-base. ﻿The A1(M) is "more than just a road", it connects the heartlands of UK with the Music Capital of the world."

Inspiration- & Background

Passionate about indie music, played in bands, 1979, early 80’s, & promoted indie live gigs since 2005. Starting the label seemed the next logical step". Our own musical journey playing in bands from 1979-84 and working at a famous Manchester live venue the Mayflower during the second wave of punk and Oi. After being away from music for the "Madchester years" a chance hearing of single by a young Cambridge band "Inkus", in 2005, it rekindled a love of music, that had never really gone away". Music can and does make a difference.
