1) Pure was a power electronics trio comprised of Matthew Bower, Alex Binnie, and Alex Winsor. Like their friends Ramleh, they used guitars instead of synthesizers, as favored by Whitehouse, to create their confrontational wall of noise. According to the members of the band, there were never any official releases of music by Pure, aside from a handful of compilation appearances. After the break up of the group, Bower formed the new project Total, and Binnie joined Zos Kia. During this time, Mark Durgan of Birthbiter asked Matthew if he could release material by Pure. Matthew did send him some solo material (basically Total recordings) which were then issued under the Pure. However, these were not representive of the original group or its sound, and is a Pure release in name only. Years later, in 2007, Freak Animal Records released the actual record under the same name that it was released before by Birthbiter, "Fetor", but this time with the original tracks.
2) Pure was a Canadian alternative rock band, founded in Vancouver, Canada in 1991. Previously, the band was known as After All and Grin Factory. Signed to the Reprise label, the band reached a greater audience once their song "Greedy" was featured on the soundtrack album Songs from the Cool World. They later appeared on Shag Records and Mammoth Records. They were nominated for a Most Promising Group of the Year Juno Award in 1993, but they lost to Skydiggers. Pure's song "Tennis Ball" was featured in the movie BASEketball, though not featured on the soundtrack. The band was somewhat notorious for its occasional themes of recreational drug use and carefree attitude, resulting in at least two music videos being banned from airplay on MuchMusic, one of these videos being "Anna is a Speed Freak". The group disbanded in 2000, citing "musical differences".

Pure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your mister, he don't hurt you the right way
In a dark room, I can see you shining bright
You don't have to tell me twice, it's alright
In a dark room, we can do just as we like
You're my sister, and this love is fucking right
No, you can't go home after where you slept last night
In a dark room, I can see you shining bright
You don't have to tell me twice, it's alright
In a dark room, we can do just as we like
You're my sister, and this love is fucking right
In a dark room, I can see you shining bright
You don't have to tell me twice, I know it's alright
In a dark room, we will do just as we like
You're my sister, and this love is fucking right
The song Love Is Cool by Pure tells the story of forbidden love between two people who are like siblings to each other. The lyrics suggest that the woman's current partner is not treating her well, and that the singer sees the shine and potential in her. In a dark room, the two come together despite knowing that their relationship cannot be accepted by society. The chorus highlights the fact that they share a special bond and that their love is valid, despite not being understood by others. The lyrics then turn dark as the singer asks if the woman can go back to her best friend's house after last night, implying that they may have engaged in a sexual relationship.
The lyrics of Love Is Cool are deliberately vague, leaving room for interpretation. They can be seen as a commentary on societal norms and the idea of social constructs that dictate whom we can and cannot love. The line, "you're my sister, and this love is fucking right" can be read both literally and metaphorically. The two may share a close bond that feels like sibling love, or they may simply be using the term as a label for their closeness.
Overall, Love Is Cool by Pure is a thought-provoking song that tackles a taboo subject with sensitivity and depth.
