1. A band from Hanover, Germany.
2. An experimental artist from Detroit, Michigan.
3. A hardcore band from New Hampshire.
4. An alias of Robert Fleming, a multi-instrumentalist based in Los Angeles, California.
5. A band from Minneapolis.
6. An inactive solo project of Oliver Francis, a rapper-producer based in Columbia, Missouri.
1. Victory was formed in Hanover, Germany in 1984 from the remnants of the band Fargo. Apart from bass player Peter Knorn, there were two guitarists, Tommy Newton and John Lockton, as well as drummer Bernie Van of Graaf forming the group. After they originally worked with singer Pedro Schemm - after a small interlude with the later Thunderhead shouter Ted Pullit - the singer Charlie Huhn joined, who had formerly played with Gary Moore and Ted Nugent. By recommendation of Scorpions guitarist Rudolph Schenker the band was guided by David Krebs' (of Scorpions and Aerosmith fame ) management.
2. Victoryβs music is a fusion between Soul music and Folk Music. She was raised in Detroit before moving to New Jersey at age twelve. Whether Victory is performing classics or original compositions, she has a way of tailoring each song with her voice and guitar to fit her unique style. Some people say that Victory is in the lane of Tracy Chapman, Roberta Flack, and Nina Simone. But beyond those three, Victory brings an entirely new youthful element to the music world, an indescribable spiritual depth mixed with her youthful interpretation of sound influencing her artistic expressions. Moreover, Victory colors a lot of her musical arrangements with rich jazz chords as she is rooted and grounded in Jazz tradition.
3. Victory is a hardcore band from southern New Hampshire. They were formed in 2005 and played together for two years. They recorded a demo of 2 songs with most notable song being "breaker". They got a big fan base following and played shows in the boston area as well as the local new hampshire venues. They later went onto record a 5 song ep. Right after being recorded the band broke up.
4. Victory is the music project of Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist Robert Fleming who produces new songs that are at once fresh, familiar and focused. βDemonstrationsβ was the first offering from Victory, a 7-song EP self-released in September 2011 and his first full length is set to see the light in April 23rd, 2013. Victory crafts a sound that is both a throw-back to psychedelic 60β²s British rock as well as an homage to todayβs thriving independent music scene.
5. Victory hail from Minneapolis and are formed from ex-members of Eightysixed, Pist & Broke, Subversives and The Virgin Whores. The collective experience of the members fit together well and gives off a chemistry that reflects in the tightness of Victoryβs sound. Victory delivers straight up American Oi! like a steel toe to the face. Victoryβs hard edged sound is fueled by lyrics based on the experiences of afghan war veteran and front man Dan and the bands struggles with being working class in a crumbling economy. Very promising debut EP ''Laced Up'' contains four juicy street punk tracks and thereβs no dead weight.
6. Victory is the now-inactive alias of Missouri-based rapper-producer Oliver Francis. Though self-described as a 'band,' it was a solo project in reality. Under the moniker, he released one full-length project titled 'I Don't Want This Anymore', before moving on to other musical endeavors.

Victory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was on the run been to hell and back
Hell and back
A god of sound got me victimised
I was standing there at the edge of time
At the edge of time
Don't tell no lies
Don't run and hide
No way tonight
This rebels ready mr. President
I'm running wild
Gonna break away
Songs of victory
'Cos we're standing like a rock
Songs of victory
In the temples of gold
Songs of victory baby
Watch the power strike the earth
Gonna rock the neighbours
So come on all aboard
Gonna be trouble
So you run away
You're a high dollar honey
It's always the same
Always the same
They say culture killed the native
Still you want more and more
You're never satisfied baby
No way
A salamander fire
Showed the hunter the way
The warning is let it rock on
I'm a wreck man babe
Don't count on me
I'm still waiting for those chacks in the mail
Songs of victory
'Cos we're standing like a rock
Songs of victory
In the temples of gold
Songs of victory baby
Watch the power strike the earth
Songs of victory
Are you ready to take the pace
This rebels ready mr. President

Victory's "Songs of Victory" is a song that talks about facing challenges, fighting against oppressors, and celebrating victories. The lyrics in the first verse express the challenges of love and the struggle of coming back from a difficult situation. Also, it speaks of being victimized by the god of sound, pointing to how people's lives are dependent on it. It gives the feeling of being on the edge, where the future is uncertain, but the person is ready to face it with a "one-track mind" that does not "tell no lies." The chorus of "Songs of Victory" is an anthem of triumph against all odds that emphasizes standing steadfast "like a rock" while celebrating one's power and success.
The second verse talks about the irony of how culture has a significant negative impact on the native people, but still, people keep wanting more of it, and they are never satisfied. It then uses the metaphor of a "salamander fire" that showed the hunter the way, which means that inspiration comes from unexpected sources. The verse concludes with the line "Donβt count on me, I'm still waiting for those checks in the mail," which suggests that even though the situation is difficult, the person is capable and willing to face it.

Cultural assimilation has destroyed native peoples
Still you want more and more
You're always hungry for more

The message is to keep going
I'm a wreck man babe
I'm not doing well
Don't count on me

I'm waiting for something that may not come
Are you ready to take the pace
Are you ready to keep up with me

People who love rock music
You know they always feel the fire
They always have passion for music
In this rock o matic race
In this fast-paced world of rock music
Are you ready to turn it up
Are you ready to go to the next level

It was timely, I've been singing this song over and over today, I woke up being so weak! As I step would feel my feet shaking, didn't have energy, now it's a different story, now I see my victory, yeeeh! Whatever the enemy meant for evil, God turned it for good. He is an Amazing Father. I'm full of strength now. After four days of dizziness. Thank you God for your healing.
