History
Originally focusing on hardcore punk or post-hardcore bands, Victory later expanded to emo, pop rock and metal. The label has had multiple records exceeding the 250,000 sales mark, including gold records The Silence in Black and White by Hawthorne Heights and Taking Back Sunday's Tell All Your Friends and Where You Want to Be.
In early 2002, 25% of the label was announced to have been sold to Universal Music Group. However, later that year the deal was terminated by Victory. Victory is currently partnered with and distributed by Sony's RED Distribution. They serve also as distribution for labels Red Cord Records and Standby Records.
In July 2012, it was announced that Victory would become the distribution home for Boston, MA based record label, We Are Triumphant. The label is managed by Greg Long and formed only nine months before the distribution deal.
