With the idea of starting the most brutal band in Louisville, Kentucky, Brian Burns (guitar) and Austin Hoffman (then drums, now guitar) started what would lead up to the creation of Puravida. After playing together with just 2 people, they soon called their friend Ben Wyatt to do vocals for them. Soon after, they added Zac Goldstein to do dual vocals together. After months of no practicing, under the name "Dear Berlin", they had added a new member, Scott Leathers (Bass). With the addition of a new member, and a change with Zac going to drums, and Austin becoming a guitarist, they soon changed their name to "Puravida". After a month of playing shows, they added new vocalist, Michael Schrader, to fill in for Ben when he was sick. Then just temporary, they decided to keep him, as it made the band sound a lot better.

Puravida is still new.

Expect big things from them in the near future.
