Pure Volume is a music inspired social networking website made for upcoming artists seeking the exposure they need. Created in 2003 by a group of students attending the University of Massachusetts. This website focuses on indie music which is music that is not mainstream.
Ever heard of Paramore, Boys Like Girls, Fall Out Boy, Hawthorne Heights, My American Heart, Daphne Loves Derby, Taking Back Sunday, My Chemical Romance, or Panic! At The Disco? All of these great bands have credited their success to PureVolume.
There are many unsigned artists striving to get famous on the music scene. PureVolume is a website where many unsigned artists can upload their music and let it be heard by the masses. Especially in Canada, we are sheltered musically by the mainstream music we hear on the radio, we never get the chance to hear the music of many of these great unsigned bands!
I dare you, take a look at this website, browse around, sort through the different genre’s of music and take a listen. It may sound like I am blasting propaganda and changing your attitude on music, but expand your musical horizon and check out some of the fresh tracks posted by these up and coming bands. It is a great feeling to hear the music of a soon to be pop icon before they hit it big!
I used to be such a fan of purevolume. They've changed over the years, and now I've moved on to bandcamp. You should check it out 🙂
