Pendulum, the Australian Drum‘n’Bass/electronic rock band, was originally formed by Rob Swire, Gareth McGrillen, and Paul “El Hornet” Harding in 2002. They released their debut album Hold Your Colour in 2005, which featured established Drum‘n’Bass producers such as DJ Fresh and TC, and made it to on the charts in the UK and Australia. Their next album, In Silico, was released in 2008. It incorporated more rock elements and was well-received, not only Australia, but also in the UK and the United States. They released two more albums by 2010. In 2011 two of the original band members, Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen, started the EDM duo Knife Party. Knife Party’s third EP, Haunted House (2013) ranked #1 on the US Dance chart and their first album Abandon Ship (2014) ranked #2 on the chart. Pendulum went on hiatus as Knife Party became their main focus. In 2015 they announced that Pendulum would reunite in 2016 to perform alongside Knife Party at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami, Florida. They recently played at several more festivals and announced a reunion tour, which is going to kick off with DJ sets in Japan. Don’t miss the return of Pendulum!
