[[Pendulum]] are an Australian-British drum and bass and electronic rock band founded in 2002 in Perth by Rob Swire, Gareth Mcgrillen, and Paul Harding. Harding was a veteran DJ while Swire and Mcgrillen were members of the rock band known as Xygen. After hearing Konflict's "Messiah" at a rave, they were inspired to enter into the drum and bass genre. In 2003 the band relocated to the United Kingdom.
What followed was an album, ''Hold Your Colour'', said to have changed the face of drum and bass. [[Up to Eleven|And then]] they got [[New Sound Album|inventive]].
Line 14:
Unlike most drum and bass DJ acts, Pendulum are known to put on spectacular live shows, equally at home supporting [[Iron Maiden]] or playing DJ sets in underground clubs.
