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".

I’m thinking of the right time
Maybe this is it
I’m thinking of today
Maybe this is it
And it’s too late to rewind
Maybe this is it
I’m going all the way
Every moment that we lived was always do or die
A girl like you is just so hard to find
I guess that makes you one of a kind
My heart beats out of my chest
Every second that I’m with you, I know that I’m blessed
I hope to make you see that I’m doing my best
Am I making sense or am I out of my head
Maybe this is it
I’m thinking of the right time
Maybe this is it
I’m thinking of today
Maybe this is it
And it’s too late to rewind
Maybe this is it
I’m going all the way
All the way up up up to the finish line
There ain’t anything anyone can say
Cus baby this is it
I know that it’s the right time
Baby this is it
I’m going all the way
They said I’d never meet a girl like you, it wasn’t true to that degree
All this time I looked, but you were standing right in front of me
I tried to not let it get over my head
But there’s just something about you and the words you said
My heart beats out of my chest
Every second that I’m with you, I know that I’m blessed
I hope to make you see that I’m doing my best
Am I making sense or am I out of my head
Maybe this is it
I’m thinking of the right time
Maybe this is it
I’m thinking of today
Maybe this is it
And it’s too late to rewind
Maybe this is it
I’m going all the way
Maybe this is it
I’m thinking of the right time
Maybe this is it
I’m thinking of today
Maybe this is it
And it’s too late to rewind
Maybe this is it
I’m going all the way
All the way up up up to the finish line
There ain’t anything anyone can say
Cus baby this is it
I know that it’s the right time
