PureNRG (stylized as "pureNRG" and pronounced "Pure Energy") was a Christian pop group from Nashville, Tennessee. They were signed to Fervent Records in late 2006. They released six albums: their self-titled debut pureNRG (released May 2007), their second album Here We Go Again (released April 2008), a Christmas album A pureNRG Christmas (released September 2008), a remix album reNRGized (released December 2008), and their junior album The Real Thing (released July 2009). Their final album Graduation: The Best of pureNRG was released July 20, 2010.
The band was formed of three members: Caroline Grace Elizabeth Williams, Laura Carolyne Joyce Myers and Jordan Ryan Yates. They were similar to the likes of Devo 2.0, Jump5, T-Squad and other Radio Disney stars, but had a very obvious Christian message on their recordings, and in their live performances. Their road manager was Brandon Hargest, formerly of the teen pop group Jump5. Caroline and Laura (who goes by Carolyne) met when they were three and attended the same dance class. Jordan befriended the pair later through his being in their older siblings' dance classes. The band was formed after they went to auditions being held by their management company. After winning, they signed with Fervent Records and started writing songs. They were featured opening acts on the Winter Jam 2008 and 2009 tours and with Jump5 for Jump5's farewell tour in which they performed songs from their first album. Although they have disbanded, they still plan to individually work on other projects that include singing.
Their last concert was on March 4, 2011 at 7:00 pm at the Fellowship Bible Church in Brentwood, Tennessee.
Work on their self-titled album was in progress as early as 2006. Jordan Yates, the frontman, had originally come up with the idea of the album being titled "The 360 EP". Plans changed and on May 1, 2007, they released their self-titled album pureNRG on Fervent Records. The record spawned 3 singles; "360", "What If", and "Footloose". "Footloose" received heavy radio play on Radio Disney and other Pop format radio stations. The record was produced by Rob Hawkins and vocals were produced Mark Hammond, both of which were first timers in their association with the band. The band was extremely proud of the album and called it "A very good first impression".
