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.

The lyrics of Pendulum's song Plastic World speak about the singer's inability to get used to a particular person. They're attracted to them, their movements, their groove, and the way they look when the music's playing, but they still can't get used to them. The person they are singing about seems to have structure and confidence, and they come alive when the music is flowing. The singer claims that they can make this person feel so good and turn their world upside down. They can look into their thoughts and examine them forever if they desire, but they claim not to know where they stand with this person. They can do anything the person wants, but still, they can't get used to them.
The song's message is clear, and the lyrics are straightforward, dealing with a romantic attraction and confusion. The use of musical elements, such as the beat and the bassline, adds to the song's meaning and creates a unique atmosphere, making it a classic in Pendulum's discography.

I remember back 2009 was a rough time.
I turned 13 and got a playstation 3. The playstation 3 was the only Birthday (and christmas) present I got that year cause it costed like 800 dollars at the time and it was 2009. I maxed out my parents 40gb internet plan downloading demos.
One of those demos was motorstorm pacific rift.
Iended up buying motor storm 2 months later because I only had enough birthday money from grandparents for a single game.
I heard tarantula in that game and fell in love (I heard a lot of music I still listen to this day, stuff like Alex Metric, Qemists, Boys Noize, Black sun empire).
I think at the time my scope of music was pretty limited, I was listening to things like audioslave and greenday, mychemicalromance, a bit of Lamb of God because other people listened to that. Video Game soundtracks went a long way to expanding that scope.
Anyway, I tracked down tarantula on some shonky service like napster or limewire and downloaded the whole hold your colour album.
I used to sit alone in the art classroom every lunch and listen to this song (and the whole album) on a terrible sansa ipod clone, back in 2009
I wasn't lonely, it was a vibe.
Every time I hear this album I just remember all the cool stuff I drew.
That's my story thanks for reading lol

vocals in this song still give me chills 10 years later

Couldn't agree more dude this one hits me deep 🥰💔

So many notes from all over the place. Breakbeats, jungle, DNB, psychedelic rock, jazz, hip hop, film scores, sound design, lots of sound design. If not for pendulum, I might have been stuck with all the DNB variants in stead of opening up. I haven't listened to this song in 10+ years, and it absolutely hits the right spots.

Little known fact: This is one of the best songs ever written.
