100 % Pure - Osmosis
 After
months of rehearsal and playing gigs, the band have finally completed
the follow-up album to 'Luv Buzz' with their new CD '100% Pure'.
'Luv Buzz ' was well received by the underground press in summer
2000 and gained international airplay of vast exposures.
After which, the band were flooded by requests from numerous radio
stations for some new material to be sent in.

 What's
the name of the band, and how did you come up with the name?
"OSMOSIS" - We'd been together for a few months and hadn't
got a name so Sylvia decided to open the dictionary and pick out
a word and it happened to be Osmosis.
Osmosis Flood Europe
Osmosis have recently achieved astonishing success in Europe with
the release of their latest album Luv Buzz.
Reaching no. 17 in the Bosnian chart, the band have also made an
impression on the German charts, slowing climbing in positions each
week. Luv Buzz is the first major release by the band, who are said
to be pleased with it's success.
Luv Buzz is currently on sale in the Local Hero's section of Northampton's
Virgin Megastore, placed No.9 and selling well.
Other news in the Osmosis camp is that they are set to return to
the studio to record a new material, which is hoped will be available
in the near future. The band plan to record early this month.
