PureVolume is a website that allows for the uploading and playing of music files, as well as social networking. It was created in 2003 by Brett Woitunski, Nate Hudson, and Mitchell Pavao; all from the University of Massachusetts. The focus is on promoting "indie" music groups and artists, meaning those who are not in the mainstream.[1]

At the Disco, Brand New,[2] Gangzta Paradize and The Scene Aesthetic[3] have been credited to exposure on PureVolume.
