Do you always put a comma before you use quotation marks, or do you only use a comma before dialogue or a quote?
For example:
“I know, but just give this CD a chance,” my mom said as she inserted the new CD into the CD player. “It was made by a Christian band called ‘pureNRG.’ You’ll probably like their music.”
Does there ned to be a comma before "pureNRG?" In fact, do I even need to put quotation marks around pureNRG? I didn't use quotation marks any of the other times I wrote the name, but this is the first time the name is used in my composition.

No comma is needed before 'pureNRG' and no, you don't need any quotation marks around that. It's a band's name ... not a title of a story or book or artwork.
