RIP! This was pivotal for me in 05-06.

So much Myspace era music that wasn't obtainable in any other way, gone.

We're next doods

Love that related reviews section

That's terrible. I liked the layout of the site. Why would they abandon it?

Never surfed the site, but this is sad.

@Eons, I think they're shutting down the site because it's beyond saving with all of the bugs and server issues it's had in recent years. A lot of music won't play and it won't let you download the songs either.

Haven't been on the site in ages, but it was pretty cool back in the day. Too bad!

I wasn't even aware that this site was still around

How is this shutting down before Reverbnation?

sputnik absorbs the life forces of fallen music sites to sustain itself. Long live his majesty's servers

reverbnation is the absolute worst...

purevolume played a huge role in shaping my music tastes, RIP

Bandcamp probably played a large part in its downfall.

Never heard of Purevolume before lol

"How is this shutting down before Reverbnation?"

I was thinking the exact same thing.

RIP, I found a lot of music on this site 10-12 years ago. But yeah, it's been broken for years, I'm surprised it wasn't shut down before now

An end of an era, for sure. So many good and terrible songs I found on that site.

Never even heard of this site before

I used it quite a bit in the mid 00s but haven't been on it in quite some time. That's a bummer.

Never even heard of this site before

Hmm I was one of those in the mid 2000s so that is very weird, still doesn't ring a bell.

Oh wow I kinda remember this. RIP

thats a fuckin bummer huh

I remember finding so much music on this website. RIP

Well, two weeks after it was supposedly going to shut down and it's still there. Lol

We hath been deceived! 😱

In case anyone cares, the new purevolume is up now. It just has some articles about certain musicians, some celebrities, and pop culture stuff. I'm not sure what the point of the website is...
