Description
Pendulum + INME
Every now and then a band turns up who are willing to blow up the artificial barriers erected between various forms of music. Mostly, the results are enough to make hardened paramedics weep. But Pendulum are different.
“We want our music to be an escape” explains Rob Swire (vocals/synth). “While technology continues to constantly advance in terms of production techniques, something has been lost in the process - that original idea of leaving yourself open to experience something you don’t necessarily find in every-day life.”
Formed in their native Perth (Western Australia) in 2002 when local producers Swire and Gareth McGrillen teamed up with DJ Paul Harding, the trio pooled a love of metal and punk with their background in drum’n’bass to create a new hybrid worthy of Day Of The Triffids.
A monstrous tangle of whip-lash beats and lacerating rock riffs, synapse-shredding debut album “Hold Your Colour” rapidly sold a 100,000 copies, earning the band a fanbase eager to exercise their devil salute. Now expanded to a five piece, new album, In Silico – released May 2008 – seems destined to delight punk and rave fans alike, while recent top twenty hit “Propane Nightmare” suggested a tempestuous menage a trois between The Prodigy, NIN and Apollo 440. With of course, added swing.
