Early years (1995–2000)
Pure Rubbish began in 1995 when brothers Derek (guitar) and Evan (drums) Dunivan were only 11 and 9 years old. The young Dunivan brothers were self-taught musicians and learned to play their instruments by listening to records. They recruited their dad Willie Dunivan on lead vocals in late 1995.

Band guitarist. Willie Dunivan's earliest bands included the 1980s rock bands ''Apeshit'' and ''Hip Cat's Alley'' and he also played drums for the Houston 1990s punk band ''Stinkerbell''. A charismatic frontman and great songwriter, Willie Dunivan was responsible for launching Pure Rubbish into reality. Musically, the Dunivan brothers were exposed to a wide range of influences. Their main influences were 1960s & 1970s rock, 1970s glam, and 1970s punk rock, but also absorbed the music of 1950s rock n roll, blues, r & b, and 1950s & 1960s country. These influences were culled from years of sifting through Willie's huge music collection. The band's sound was self labeled "trash rock" and "glam punk" and was a combination of all their musical influences.
The band's first show on December 9, 1995, was a

The band also released their first independent record ''Heavy Trash Day'' 7-inch EP / Tape in 1998 on Willie's own ''One Hit Records'' imprint.

. The tour helped expose the band to new fans along with having segments aired on MTV's ''You Hear It First'' program and VH1's ''The Rock Show'', but was also a challenge as Pure Rubbish's brand of rock n’ roll was out of step with the other bands. In the middle of the tour Pure Rubbish flew over to Paris, France to play a high-profile gig as opening bill on the AC/DC “Stiff Upper Lip Tour”. The show was a huge success and the band came back to the States reenergized to finish the rest of the Ozzfest 2001 tour. Four songs taken from the ''Glamorous Youth'' sessions were released as the
S/T EP in August 2001 with different mixes of the songs. Shortly after Ozzfest that summer, the band's debut full-length album ''Glamorous Youth'' was slated for release but was stopped because the label thought the production was too dated.
In 2002, the band continued to play shows while working on new material for a planned (at that time untitled) new album to be recorded consisting of some of the songs recorded for ''Glamorous Youth'' along with the band's newly written songs. They were frustrated over the Mike Clink produced ''Glamorous Youth'' album being shelved, but were anxious to record their new songs and start touring again. Again, the release date for the new album was pushed back to summer / fall 2002.

Studios to record demos for Roadrunner Records. However, only demos of newer songs the band had been working on from mid-2001 - mid-2002 were recorded. A feature article in
Rolling Stone magazine surfaced that July, which chronicled Pure Rubbish's tour escapades through the eyes of the youngest band to ever play on Ozzfest.
Upon returning to Houston in July 2002, the band dropped most of the old ''Glamorous Youth'' songs and even the newer demos they had recorded for Roadrunner in favor of music that was quite different from the songs the band had been playing only months before. Pure Rubbish's sound was changing drastically and the band pitched many of the self-produced demos to Roadrunner. Roadrunner wanted the band to keep their original hard rock style and conflicts arose regarding which songs to record for a full length Pure Rubbish album. Roadrunner would sign the band only if the band continued with their original sound. This disagreement led to the demise of the Roadrunner deal. Pure Rubbish continued from mid-2002 into the early months of 2003 but internal musical differences eventually split the band into two different camps concerning what they wanted to do musically. Derek and Evan wanted to create an original sound drawing from the Beatles, David Bowie, and Radiohead, while Mike and Jarrett wanted to continue playing hard rock.
Pure Rubbish officially split up in April 2003 with Derek and Evan continuing to pursue their musical aspirations in their band Penny Royal, and Mike and Jarrett forming the Urgencies in summer 2003 with Al G. and Shawn.
Derek Dunivan was featured in the book "Uncommon Sound" (2006) written by John Engel about left-handed guitar players.
