Biography

There is more than one artist with this name.

1. The most recent was a -influenced group from Perth, Australia, who relocated to the UK in 2003. The group (2002) comprises Rob Swire (vocals/synth/producer), Gareth McGrillen (bass guitar/producer/DJ), Perry ap Gwynedd (guitar), Paul ‘El Hornet’ Harding (DJ), KJ Sawka (drums) and Ben ‘The Verse’ Mount (MC). In 2012 they broke up, however El Hornet and MC Verse still use the name Pendulum for DJ sets.

In 2005 they released their debut album, Hold Your Colour. Critically, the album was well-received in both the United Kingdom and Australia. In addition, it was one of the biggest selling Drum and Bass releases of all time. Pendulum have also collaborated with Freestylers, releasing the single “Fasten Your Seatbelt”. MC $pyda and DJ Tenor Fly also feature as vocalists on “Tarantula”.

Pendulum’s sound is typically heavy beats accompanied by low, buzzing bass lines, overlaid with synthesized leads. As of their second album, In Silico, further experiments with sound are evident with many more elements from rock and typical electronic music being incorporated into their music. “In Silico” is Pendulum’s first album for Warner Bros. Records via the bands Ear Storm imprint.

Their track “Vault” was played by almost every DJ and was declared by annual Knowledge Drum’n’bass Awards as The Best Track of the Year. They have also created many remixes, including a remix of Voodoo People by The Prodigy.

    Well, Rob Swire abandoned one of my fav dnb-bands. For what? Money and brostep? Ofc i hate him for that. Fuck Knife Party, it was so uncalled for.

    How is their DJ set? Is it good? Do they play a lot of their own songs and do they mix them like crazy and kinda ruin them or do they mix it good? :)

    What can I say...It was a really good project: 3 albums for 10 years, not so much, but the quallity...It wasn't simply an electric griming, It was MUSIC...and I'm deeply disapointed that It is a sunset of the Pendulum, how I knew It(but who cares what I'm thinging about? Not Rob, for sure).
