Open Day at the Hate Fest (2001) Gift (2001) The New Adventures of Curve (2002)

Gift was the fourth all-new studio album to be released by the British band Curve.

Following two years of legal wrangles between the group and their then record company, Universal Records, the online success of Curve's self-released album Open Day at the Hate Fest convinced Universal - who had been threatening to shelve the album completely - to market it under the Hip-O Records brand.

Of the songs on the record, "Hell Above Water" has gained the highest public profile as a result of its use in trailers for both the 2002 film Spider-Man, the 2008 film Iron Man, an episode for the popular crime drama CSI (Episode 207, Caged), and featured in a scene in the 2008 film Lakeview Terrace. It is also featured in the PlayStation 3 game MotorStorm, and is well known for being used as the intro tune to the popular Flash animation, "The Lazer Collection" by American animator, Dominic Fera, better known by his YouTube username DominicFear.
