[edit] Biography

The band is formed of three members: Caroline Grace Elizabeth Williams (13), Laura Carolyne Joyce Myers (12) & Jordan Ryan Yates (15).[3] They are similar to the likes of Devo 2.0, Jump5, T-Squad and other Radio Disney stars. Their self-titled debut CD was released May 1, 2007 on Fervent Records. The record was produced by Rob Hawkins & and vocals were produced Mark Hammond. Their road manager is said to be Brandon Hargest of the Teen Pop group Jump5.The tweens met in class at age 3 and then formed the band three years ago.

Their lastest album, Here We Go Again, was released on April 29, 2008.[1] PureNRG takes after Jump5, as their music has many similarities, and is currently on tour to promote their new album.

[edit] Role Models

All three PureNRG members are home schooled, which allows them to tour around the country during the school year. They go to a tutorial program on Tuesdays and Thursdays and take five classes in traditional subjects. Jordan says they don’t feel like they miss out on anything, because they each have friends at places besides school. “It’s well worth it, because we get plenty of opportunities to do other stuff that’s really cool.” The members of PureNRG have their own role models. Carolyne looks up to her older sister, Courtney, who’s half of the singing duo Cadia. Jordan admires his dad, because “he’s a hard worker.” Caroline says her older brother is her role model, because he also likes performing, so she followed in his footsteps. “He acts, and if I need help, I can go to him. We can just hang out, and he’s my best friend. It’s really fun to be around him.”

Because they want to be role models to others, PureNRG takes purity and modesty seriously. The girls are into layers, especially leggings under a shorter skirt and long sleeves under short sleeves. And the girls even adapted a leotard to wear underneath their outfits so if their shirts fly up while they’re tumbling, their bellies are still covered.

“If my shirt goes up, it looks just like a tucked-in white shirt,” Caroline explains. “We put snaps in so that we can go to the bathroom With so much time away from home while on tour (you may have seen PureNRG on the WinterJam Tour), time with family when they are in town is important to the group. Caroline spends time at her little brother’s soccer games and goes out for ice cream with her older brother. “My mom drives me a lot of places, so I talk to her in the car, and that’s a lot of bonding time for us. With my dad, we go on dates. Usually it’s really late at night, so we go to a fast-food restaurant and just talk.”

Jordan texts his family a lot while on tour. His older sister has kids and lives close by, so he spends time helping her. “I bond with her by just going over there and helping with the kids. That’s really fun for me, because I get to play with them, too.”

Carolyne has eight siblings (she’s the middle child), and she loves relaxing in her parents’ room, watching a movie on their bed with her younger siblings. Carolyne says that helping out your siblings will help you get along better. “If you share a room, then play your part. Clean your room when you’re supposed to and pick up your stuff,” she advises.
