Australia (2002 – present)
There are four groups known by the name Pendulum. The most recent are a drum and bass/rock/electronic group from Perth, Australia, who relocated to the UK in 2003. There was also an electronica/dance group from Melbourne, Australia by the same name who hit the top 10 alternative charts circa 1997 with “Coma”. The other two are a trip-hop group from the UK and a 70’s Belgian band.
1. The Perth group (2002) comprises Rob Swire (vocals/synth/producer), Gareth McGrillen (bass guitar/producer/DJ), Perry ap Gwynedd (guitar), Paul ‘El Hornet’ Harding (DJ) and Kodish (drums).
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 Spyda and 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 latest album, In Silico, further experiments with sound are evident with many more elements from rock and typical electronic music being incorporated into their music.

Why are they turning away from DnB? Its because more mainstream music makes them even more popular. Theyre current music still keeps with their roots though.
