Jason at Chorus.fm noticed today that PureVolume will be shutting down at the end of the month. According to a pop-up on the site's homepage, folks with songs hosted there "will have until April 30th, 2018 to download" them.
There was a period from 2008-2011 where PureVolume was my homepage. There's not much I found there that I listen to on a regular basis today, but it was the hub for music discovery when I was in my late teens.
As sad as it is, this doesn't come as a surprise to me. As a hoarder of old demos and early EPs, PureVolume has been a treasure trove of music artists forgot existed. For instance, some of Noah Gundersen's earliest solo songs were hosted there—seemingly forgotten to time. When I found this page, one of the tracks was already purged from PureVolume's servers, like so many other tracks have been in the past 5 years. The writing has been on the wall if you paid any attention.
