Pure Rubbish

Musical Group

Hard Rock

American four-piece street/sleazy rock band. At the time of their debut EP the members had an average age of nineteen. Executive production involvement by Sharon Osbourne and production work credited to Mike Clink are noted; the album Glamorous Youth saw a US release in 2002. The reviewer reports the band quickly faded into obscurity.

Recorded an eponymous EP and the full-length Glamorous Youth (US release 2002). The EP includes a cover of AC/DC's "Let there be rock" and tracks mentioned in reviews include "Electric heart", "Parts unknown" and "Kiss of death". Executive production/management involvement by Sharon Osbourne and console work by producer Mike Clink are cited in the review. Management/label is referenced as Divine Record in the review.

DeBaser's review presents Pure Rubbish as a young American four-piece rooted in sleazy/street rock. The EP and the full-length Glamorous Youth receive a largely negative assessment, with production ties to Sharon Osbourne and Mike Clink noted. The reviewer concludes the band quickly faded into obscurity.

For:Fans of sleazy/glam/hard rock, collectors of early-2000s street rock, DeBaser readers looking for critical takes.

Time does not seem to have been too kind to this combo, which quickly faded into obscurity: their disappearance should be read as a personal failure of Ozzy Osbourne's wife/manager but also as the result of poor stylistic choices by the management of Divine Record, which led Pure Rubbish to play sleazy rock while presenting themselves to the public as a pocket version of operetta pop rockers like American Hi-Fi and The Calling.
