About

Valentine Records was originally launched in Manchester in 2001. Our original roster included guitar bands such as Extinguish Her, Chevron and Palo Alto, as well as electronic/laptop artists including I-Node, DoubleJohnGrey and The Hi Fi Renaissance. Valentine MK1 also promoted a variety of live events, including regular showcases at Manchester's In The City and Futuresonic Festivals, alongside the popular clubnight To Amy With Love and the live music series Transmission: Manchester

In March 2010 Valentine announced it would be relaunching with a variety of new releases and collaborators.
