Victory Records has had some negative relations with artists signed to the label. Over the years, multiple bands have cited grievances, conflicts, or filed lawsuits against the record label, while others have stayed with record label for years, or even came back to Victory after releasing albums on different labels.

Former Victory band Thursday has had a conflict with the label, citing issues with royalties. The band also cited an incident involving the Victory Records marketing staff producing whoopie cushions for the promotion of their 2001 album Full Collapse, against their wishes.{{cite web|url=http://www.punknews.org/article/3601|title=Thursday exposes Victory / officially announces Island signing!|work=punknews.org|date=May 29, 2002 |access-date=May 25, 2015}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.vh1.com/artists/news/1565185/20070719/taking_back_sunday.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071001131823/http://www.vh1.com/artists/news/1565185/20070719/taking_back_sunday.jhtml|url-status=dead|title=VH1.com : Taking Back Sunday : Taking Back Sunday's New Album Not So New After All - Rhapsody Music Downloads|archive-date=October 1, 2007}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1564369/20070709/thursday.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071001131346/http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1564369/20070709/thursday.jhtml|url-status=dead|title=Thursday Knew Victory Treaty 'Would Confuse Everybody' | News | VH1.com|archive-date=October 1, 2007}} Thursday stated in the DVD accompanying their compilation album Kill the House Lights that they chose to go to a major label (Island Def Jam in 2002) and after fulfilling their contract, Tony Brummel and Victory Records welcomed Thursday "back with open arms."

Despite the controversy, relations between Victory Records and its bands have not been all negative. Close Your Eyes and Ill Niño have mentioned positive relations multiple times in interview. Emmure has said specifically "Victory does good business, and if you're a band that is expecting more than what you get, then you're going to feel cheated and robbed."{{cite web|url=http://www.altpress.com/features/entry/weve_never_been_robbed_or_cheated_of_anything_emmure_on_re_signing_to_victo|title="We've never been robbed or cheated of anything" Emmure on re-signing to Victory and their new album - Alternative Press|work=Alternative Press|access-date=May 25, 2015}}

On March 5, 2007, a federal judge in Chicago ruled that Victory Records does not hold exclusive rights for the band's recording services and that the band can record for any label.

On December 15, 2011, it was announced that metalcore band A Day to Remember planned on filing a civil action against the label for breach of contract. Legal action was reportedly initiated on May 31 of that year, in which the band claimed that Victory owed them over $75,000 in royalties.{{cite web|title=A Day To Remember to sue Victory Records|url=http://www.killyourstereo.com/news/12209/a-day-to-remember-to-sue-victory-records/|publisher=Kill Your Stereo|access-date=December 16, 2011|archive-date=September 26, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130926210618/http://www.killyourstereo.com/news/12209/a-day-to-remember-to-sue-victory-records/|url-status=dead}} Victory Records has said, on their behalf, that the lawsuit is actually about the band's refusal to fulfill their five-album contractual commitment to Victory and their newfound desire to move to a major label.{{cite web|url=http://www.rocksound.tv/news/article/a-day-to-remember-taking-label-to-court|title=Slam Dunk Festival: Live Updates From South|work=Rock Sound Magazine|access-date=May 25, 2015}}

On October 5, 2013, news outlets reported that A Day to Remember had been given permission to self-release their new album Common Courtesy without any involvement from Victory.

The band however, did comment on their controversy, stating; "We really don't mind.

Ska-punk group Streetlight Manifesto has had numerous conflicts and has a generally poor relationship with Victory Records. The band left the label after their album The Hands That Thieve. In February 2012, Streetlight Manifesto went so far as to request that their fans boycott their (Streetlight Manifesto's) music and other items from the Victory record label's online store.{{cite web|title=Streetlight Manifesto Proudly Boycotts Itself|url=http://streetlightmanifesto.com/streetlight-manifesto-proudly-boycotts-itself/|work=StreetlightManifesto.com|access-date=February 24, 2012|archive-date=February 29, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120229204531/http://streetlightmanifesto.com/streetlight-manifesto-proudly-boycotts-itself/|url-status=dead}}

On October 20, 2015, media outlets reported of a $1,000,000 lawsuit filed by Victory Records against lead vocalist Tomas Kalnoky. The lawsuit was filed in regard to the band not fulfilling their record deal of four studio albums to be released under Victory. The band released five albums while on the label, however Victory claims that "... the band agreed not to count this album as one of the four albums under its contract to receive a $10,000 emergency advance."{{cite web|title = Record Label Puts Screws on Ska Band|url = http://www.courthousenews.com/2015/10/20/record-label-puts-screws-on-ska-band.htm|website = Courthouse News|access-date = October 22, 2015}} Victory also claims that the band's album 99 Songs of Revolution: Vol. 1 does not count towards the contract due to it being a covers album. The lawsuit claims the $1,000,000 is to be paid for Streetlight not fulfilling their 4 album record deal, as well as damages for copyright infringement relating to the release of their last album The Hands That Thieve in which Tomas Kalnoky released an acoustic version of the album under his pseudonym Toh Kay titled "The Hand That Thieves". The Toh Kay release was officially cancelled, however the release was later made available online.{{cite web|title = Update: The Continued Struggle|url = http://streetlightmanifesto.com/update-the-continued-struggle/|website = streetlightmanifesto.com|access-date = October 22, 2015}}
