About

PureGrainAudio.com started as a simple drunken, idea back in the early part of 2005. Two friends, Chris Gonda and Aaron Willschick, had become thoroughly frustrated with their stagnating attempt at a socio-political website, yet did not want to surrender the website plans. So, a few late nights later, the two dudes decided to form a site in the vein of their main passion... music... namely LOUD MUSIC! PureGrainAudio consequently began to take form and after the initial layout was finalised it was launched during the last week of March, 2005.

With a total monthly visitor count of only 58 people (most of which were probably family and friends anyway) it was quite the horrific start to say the least. Nevertheless, the two dudes remained determined and pushed forward and in just over two years have taken PureGrain to the point where it now receives over 10,000 unique monthly visitors and nearly 30,000 total monthly visitors. From one very small-time interview with a local Canadian independent rock band to over eighty interviews with major label artists and independent musicians alike, it’s safe to say the site has come a long way in a short time.

PureGrainAudio has even blossomed from us two lowly and lonely staff members to now just under twenty amazing writers and staff and with their crucial help and dedicated work, we now harbour the determination and energy necessary to propel PureGrainAudio to the very apex of independent rock and metal press. At this point, we don’t want to say much more in detail about the site, but we want to leave you with our promise: we promise to do everything in our power to continuously bring you new, exciting and unique music content. Thanks so much for your support and live LOUD!
