“This has been a really difficult decision,” says pureNRG, “because we know that God called us into pureNRG, but now we feel He’s calling us on to other things… All three of us plan to continue pursuing music and keeping active in our mission work, but for right now we want to live our lives like other kids our age and have the time for school, sports and hangin’ with friends.”

In an effort to make their final year their best yet, pureNRG is engaging their active fan base in every aspect of their final recording. Starting Friday, February 5 www.pureNRGonline.com, will host polls asking fans to help select songs, pictures, cover art, and more.
