Mine are
Equal Vision (the fall of troy, fear before the march of flames, circa survive
Temporary Residence Limited (explosions in the sky, envy)
Robotic Empire (pg 99, circle takes the square)
Level-Plane (hot cross, ed gein, transistor)

there's a couple more good ones too. like epitath.

Dude, victory blows there was some article, a thursday interview about them they were basically treated like shit. Its happened with quite a few of their bands too and, I pretty much agree with alejos list.

By support i more meant get their name out there. Regardless of how they treat the band victory does a good job at gettin their artists name out

Roadrunner has always been my favorite and this year it got 1,000 times better when they signed Megadeth, Black Label Society, and Hatebreed. Thats three huge bands to go along with their already killer lineup (Slipknot, Stone Sour, Machine Head, and Soulfly) The only bad thing about Roadrunner is that they have one of the WORST bands EVER in Nickelback. THEY SUCK ASS.

One thing that pisses me off are the legions of closed minded indie kids who are quick to bash big labels and call any band under a big label crap... It's true that big labels are often motivated by greed, but they still promote some of the best artists around, given they will hire some really lame bands and martket the hell out of them, but it's still stupid to make a big deal out of big labels and call any band that signs under them sellouts, it's not selling out, some people just want their music to actually be heard, yeah a good paycheck dosen't hurt... With indie labels, people glorify them for sticking up for the people, or the underdog... That may be true in many cases, but a lot of indie labels are small simply because of poor financing and business practices, and many of them will sign any crappy talentless band out of sheer desperation.

the operation of the label is far more important than the bands it has. Sony etc may have hundreds of good bands but the way in which it works should prevent it (or its subsiduaries) getting on anyones favourite list in my opinion.
