History

edit

2002–2007: Formation andHold Your Colour

edit
MC Ben Mount

Before Pendulum,Rob Swireand Gareth McGrillen were in multiplerockandmetal musicbands before Swire influenced McGrillen into producingelectronic musicon their computers. Harding had been the drummer in a punk band since the mid-1990s. Both their bands had played together at the same shows, but they did not meet until adrum & bassnight in 2002.[6]They all had a passion for electronic music and formed Pendulum, incorporating their previous influences of rock and metal music from their previous projects.[6][7]

Pendulum began their career in Perth, Western Australia as a trio of DJs. Harding had been active in the Perth drum & bass scene for some time, DJing under the name "El Hornet". Swire and McGrillen had played friends parties, mainly DJing from their computers. Initially Swire and McGrillen wanted to start a record label and release songs on it.[7]One evening they were meant to play a DJ set on The Perth Producers night at The Drumclub, but Swire's hard drive failed. Harding offered to play their music instead which was received well. They sat down with each other and decided to produce music together under the name Pendulum.[8]

The first track the trio produced was 'Vault', which would be released in 2003 on 31 Records to great acclaim within the UK drum & bass scene.[9]At that moment they were residing inPerth,but they felt isolated from the drum & bass community. Once fellow drum & bass artistDJ Freshoffered them free accommodation in hisLondonflat for eight months, they decided to move to England.[10]

The band also recorded and released 'Spiral / Ulterior Motive' the same year,[11]and in 2004 made their first compilation appearance on 'Jungle Sound: The Bassline Strikes Back!', with several songs featured and Harding in charge of mi xing the album's second disc.[12]The band was offered an album deal byBreakbeat Kaos,Fresh's label, which resulted in their debut albumHold Your Colourin 2005.[13]The album charted in both the United Kingdom and in Australia and was certified as a golden album in Australia.[14]

Following the success of their 2005 debut album, their labelBreakbeat Kaosre-issued the compilation under the name Jungle Sound Gold, the front now saying "mixed by Pendulum". The band disapproved of this as they had neither given permission nor been informed about the release, and Pendulum later ended up leaving the label.[15]

In 2006, the trio became a sextet after introducingBen Mountas theirMC,Peredur ap Gwynedd as their guitarist, andPaul Kodishas their drummer. At this time McGrillen began playing bass guitar at live shows and on some studio recordings.[citation needed]

2007–2009:In SilicoandLive at Brixton Academy

edit

Pendulum's second album,In Silico,was released on 12 May 2008.[16]This release contained different sounds compared to their debut album, as it contained more rock elements whilst maintaining their electronic elements. The response to this change was relatively positive from critics, but was called "a little dated" byThe Guardian.[17][18][19]The album was relatively successful as it charted at 2 on theUK Albums Chart[20]and at 9 in theAustralian Albums Chart.[21]The album reached No. 16 on Billboard's Top Electronic Albums chart in the United States.[22]In November 2008, three songs from the album In Silico were used in the soundtrack of Need for Speed: Undercover.[22]The song "Tarantula" was featured in the video gameMotorStorm: Pacific Rift.[23]"Tarantula" also later inspired the release of the track "Centipede" from their spin-off band,Knife Party.

At the end of the year the band filmed alive DVDon 4 and 5 December 2008, at theBrixton Academy.This was released on 17 April 2009.[24]Sometime afterwards,Paul Kodishleft the band for unspecified reasons.[25]

2009–2011:Immersion

edit
Live, Melbourne 2010.

Pendulum once again toured Europe in 2009. During this tour they announced that they were working on their third studio album,Immersion.It was announced in December 2009 that Pendulum would be touring for their new album in May 2010. The release date of the album was announced to be sometime "in May" during the live preview party atMatter,and was then announced to be released on 24 May. Pendulum previewed their albumImmersionat the Ear Storm night at London's Matter nightclub on Friday 22 January.[26]"Salt in the Wounds", a track from their new album, was Zane Lowe's Hottest Record in the World on BBC Radio 1 on 25 January 2010.[27]On Zane Lowe's show, it was also announced that he wanted to join the band and the first single from the new album would be called "Watercolour".This single also received its first play on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show on 8 March 2010, and was his Single of the Week for that week.[28]In December 2010, "Watercolour" was found to be featured in the soundtrack of the 2010 hit game "Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit".On 1 April, the music video for" Salt in the Wounds "was released. The video is unique in that it is, according to the band's website,"...the world’s first 360° interactive music video. "[29][30]

"Watercolour" claimed the No.4 spot in the UK Singles Chart, making it their biggest hit to date.[31]On 21 May 2010, the band headlined the annualRadio 1's Big Weekendfestival which was held at theVaynolEstate,Bangor, Gwynedd.[32]The second single from the album, "Witchcraft",was released on 18 July and charted at No.29 in the UK Singles chart, making it their third highest charted single in the UK.[33]The third single fromImmersionwas "The Island",and just missed the UK Top 40 at No. 41.[34]

Rob Swire had stated that if it had achieved greater success than "Witchcraft", he would have released a song entitled "Ransom",which was taken offImmersionbefore the album's release. Swire revealed the original files for "Ransom" were corrupted, and that he had no plans to recreate them, therefore it would not be released. However, on 6 April 2011, Pendulum released "Ransom" as a single via their website with all proceeds going to the Help for Japan fund afterthe tsunami.[35][36]"Crush"was released as the fourth single in January 2011. In January 2011, Pendulum released a Deluxe Edition ofImmersionviaiTuneswhich contained the album's original 15 tracks and a collection of remixes of "Watercolour", "Witchcraft" and "The Island" by other artists includingdeadmau5,TiëstoandChuckie.Both the UK and US store were also given the music videos of those three tracks in the release.[37]

2011–2015: Knife Party and hiatus

edit

On 26 October 2010, Swire announced that a new record was in the works. This new record was set to be heavilypunkinfluenced. The next album was expected to be a significant departure from usage of drum & bass tempo, for a faster tempo in the form ofpunk,and a slower tempo in the form of dubstep.

On 29 March 2011, Swire revealed that there would be no "new album" for a while. However, he did add that there would be "def new material" later in the year.[38]

Pendulum opened forLinkin Parkon several selected dates during the band's 2011 "A Thousand Suns" North American tour. They also headlined their own tour supported byInnerpartysystemwho are also an Electronic Rock band.

Pendulum played at the 2011Download Festival,[39]Oxegen,[40]The Eden Sessions,[41]Glastonbury Festival,[42]T in the Park,and V Festival, headlinedGlobal Gathering,an exclusive London show at South West Four[43]and finally headlined the first night of Bestival on the Isle of Wight.

Pendulum headlined atRhythm & Vines2011 inGisborne, New Zealand.They also were one of the headliners on the Main Stage line-up at the LovEvolution 2011 Dance Festival & Parade in Oakland, California, which had over 50 DJs and 15 or more parade floats.

On 3 January 2012, Pendulum announced that they would be taking a hiatus from touring while thanking their fans for the last several years. They went on to state that they might create a new record in 2013.[44]Six months later on 16 June 2012, Rob Swire re-iterated that there would be no further Pendulum live shows and also withdrew his plans of releasing a new record in 2013, asKnife Partyhad become his primary project.[45]El Hornet & MC Verse, meanwhile, continued to perform DJ sets across the world using the alias, while the remaining members of the band began to partake in various side projects.

In 2011 Rob Swire and fellow member Gareth McGrillen announced in various interviews that a project calledKnife Partyhad been created. The side project is virtually unlinked by any means to Pendulum and consists ofelectro house,dubstepand other club genres. Knife Party has since become the duo's primary project.

The following year on 22 August 2013, in a series of tweets, it was revealed that along with a Knife Party album,[46]a possible Pendulum album may also be released in 2014.[47]El-Hornet later confirmed the album in a speech at the9:30 ClubinWashington, D.C.,and said "don't rush us".

On 13 July 2014, Swire stated that work on the new Pendulum album will begin around September and could be released early 2015.[48]Yet on 16 December 2014, Knife Party did an AMA onRedditwhich some fans inquired the duo about how the Pendulum album was coming along. Rob Swire stated that, although they weren't working on it yet, they had some old material from previous albums that can be re-worked and finished into something new, which is however, different from all previous work Pendulum have done so far. Rob Swire also stated that he personally didn't want to make a new Pendulum album but rather work on something else with Knife Party or create a new project altogether, one he can have "control" of, since he "lost heart for the project", having no real desire to make drum & bass anymore and fusing it with rock, while again ruling out a live band tour and gave no further details on release dates.[49]

On 22 August 2015, Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen joined El Hornet and Ben Verse onstage atV Festivalin Hylands Park, Essex for the Pendulum DJ set.[55]This marks the first time either of the members have performed under the Pendulum name in four years.[original research?]Rob later tweeted after the performance that the experience was "fun, and also weird."[56]

On 16 December 2015, it was announced that Pendulum would reunite as a live band at the 2016Ultra Music Festivalin Miami, Florida. The band closed the music festival as the latter half of a joined performance withKnife Party.[57]This was the first live performance of the band without MC Ben Verse.

An accompanying music video for "Nothing for Free" was released 18 September, which features a population of rabbits dealing with an outbreak ofmyxomatosis,which serves as a commentary on the worldwideCOVID-19 pandemic.[67]On 14 September 2020,[68]the band recorded a concert atSpitbank Fortto promote their new music which was streamed live onYouTubeon 2 October 2020.[69]

As a result, Bob watches his former partner's life spiral out of control as a result of bad decisions, culminating in Gary being hospitalised from a drunk driving crash, prompting Bob to reunite with Gary.

Artistry

edit
Bassist Gareth McGrillen at University of Hertfordshire in 2007

When Pendulum was formed, their musical style was considerably more drum & bass–sounding than the work they were known for later in their career. Signature tunes such as "Masochist", "Vault", "Back 2 You"and" Voyager ", which were released on labels such asUprising Records,31 Records, Renegade Hardware and Low Profile Records, have a darker, more amelodic air to them which is substantially absent from their later productions. The band's newer work is regarded as generally leaning heavily towards a mainstream, dance-driven sound. Early work such as "Another Planet" seems to indicate an early affinity with a more global sound, similar to otherBreakbeat Kaosartists such asDJ FreshandAdam F.[original research?]

The group has produced various remixes of other artists also; one of the best-known being the remix of "Voodoo People",originally by British bandThe Prodigy.In 2008–2010, they covered/remixed songs includingLed Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song",Linkin Park's "The Catalyst",Calvin Harris's "I'm Not Alone",Coldplay's "Violet Hill",andMetallica's "Master of Puppets".Pendulum's versions of" I'm Not Alone "and" Master of Puppets "both exist as studio recordings but have not been officially released and have only previewed during DJ sets. The original live version of" Master of Puppets "was played as an instrumental introduction for"Slam"and was featured on their first live album/DVD. During their American tour as the supporting band for Linkin Park, the song was played in its entirety, with Rob doing vocals. Pendulum have also remixed their own music and, on occasion, television theme songs, such as Australian television's" ABC News Theme "in May 2010. The remix proved to be immensely popular with listeners of Australian youth radio stationTriple J,polling at number 11 in the2010 Triple J Hottest 100countdown.[76]

Pendulum's musical style consisted of a fusion ofdrum & bass(along with other electronic genres),alternative rockandheavy metal,with the inclusion of acoustic instruments. This creates a sound reminiscent ofelectronic rock,albeit with much more prominent drum & bass and, more recently,dubstepinfluences. Some songs, such as "Slam", "Propane Nightmares" and "Witchcraft" are synth-led, whilst others, such as "Showdown", "The Tempest" and "Comprachicos", are guitar-led. Bassist Gareth McGrillen stated in an interview onChannel 4that they use 13 computers during the live performances, all of which are mi xing the sounds produced by the instruments in real time. Rob Swire stated in issues of TJECK magazine andRock Sound magazinethat he would like to begin producing songs with a punk style to them,[77]which Gareth clarified to mean "A raw, aggressive, less polished method of producing".[78]Pendulum were known to be fans ofprogressive rockandprogressive metalbands, which may have inspired them to fuse multiple genres of music together, which is standard practice in those genres.

Controversy

edit

In 2006, Pendulum's old labelBreakbeat Kaosreleased an album containing a 2-year-old Pendulum DJ mix without their permission, resulting in group member Rob Swire later denouncing the album on public Internet forumDogs on Acid.[79]This issue has since been resolved; DJ Fresh is included on the list of acknowledgements in theImmersionbooklet, and Pendulum has since worked with Breakbeat Kaos again, on the vinyl release of the singles "Witchcraft" and "The Island".[80]

Electronic musicianGoldiehas criticised Pendulum's single "Granite" for being what he calls a "shit single", and accused the band of not acknowledging the drum & bass scene from which they came.[81]For the band's part, in an interview withThe Times,Swire cited "Goldie making concept albums about space and his mum"[82](in the words ofThe Timesreporter) as one of the reasons why he was not initially keen on the genre; he claims to have been more into "breakbeat, straight up house and hardcore" before Gareth McGrillen, who is Pendulum's bassist and was Swire's bandmate in Xygen, introduced him to "more electronic" areas of the genre.[83]This issue has since been resolved as well, according to Gareth McGrillen in an interview inThe Age.[84]
