Valve Records is an Australian record label, releasing a wide range of alternative artists both local and international. The label was created by Paul Curtis in 1994 to support the local bands he was managing. Regurgitator, the most successful band he manages, however, would not see a release on Valve until 2003/2004 after a split with Warner EastWest and the completion of the first Band in a Bubble project in Melbourne's Federation Square.
