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 $pyda and DJ 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 second album, In Silico, further experiments with sound are evident with many more elements from rock and typical electronic music being incorporated into their music. "In Silico" is Pendulum's first album for Warner Bros. Records via the bands Ear Storm imprint.
Their track "Vault" was played by almost every DJ and was declared by annual Knowledge Drum’n’bass Awards as The Best Track of the Year. They have also created many remixes, including a remix of Voodoo People by The Prodigy.
The band's third album "Immersion" was released on 24th May 2010, entering the UK album charts at #1 at the end of that week.
In 2011, members Swire and McGrillen started their side project, Knife Party, as a way to create different kinds of electronic music. It has since become their primary focus, however they have not ruled out the possibility of new Pendulum material in the future.

Pendulum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We go back (back, back, back)
We go back (back, back, back)
We go back (back, back, back)
We go back (back, back, back)
Back with a track called "Driver"
To where shit hurts
Bring it back
Bring it back home
The lyrics to Pendulum's "Driver" are fairly short and straightforward, but they still manage to convey a strong sense of nostalgia and pain. The repeated line "We go back" suggests a longing for past times and experiences, while the phrase "to where shit hurts" implies that those memories might not be entirely pleasant. The repetition of "back" and the reference to a track called "Driver" also suggest a cyclical, repetitive feeling - like the singer is stuck in a loop, reliving the same painful experiences over and over again.
The final lines, "No, let 'em circle / Bring it back / Bring it back home," add another layer to the song's meaning. The phrase "let 'em circle" could be interpreted in a few different ways - it could refer to people or events that keep coming back around and causing pain, or it could be a more general comment on the cyclical nature of life. Either way, the sentiment seems to be one of frustration or resignation - like the singer is tired of dealing with the same problems over and over again. However, the repetition of "bring it back" at the end of the song suggests a glimmer of hope or determination - like the singer is trying to find a way to break out of the cycle and return to a happier, more stable place.
Overall, "Driver" seems to be a fairly emotional song that deals with themes of nostalgia, pain, and the cyclical nature of life. The repetition in the lyrics helps to create a sense of repetition and frustration, while the final lines suggest a desire to break free from that cycle and return to a more stable, happy place.

@Danny Cooke Well, it's a two track EP. As far as I know this isn't confirming a full LP. But I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
@klemoa
We go back. Jedem hoši!
@tato.mp4
@Danny Cooke reworks was partly made to fullfill the 4th album contract - these new releases come as rob and mngmt decide, and as stated in todays interview, more tracks will come in pairs not too far in the future - a full length album remains to be revelead
@jstarproductions7335
Fun fact: the last song on the last album (immersion - Encoder) ends with Rob basically saying goodbye and that he has regrets, then you hear waves crashing and a underwater / drowning effect.
This song starts with him gasping for air, submerging from water and with the words "we go back"
SECOND WIND BABY!!
