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]
