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 ↴
On this small planet,
We're going to rock civilisation
Is this bass really strong enough?
We're marooned on a small island, in an endless sea,
Confined to a tiny spit of sand, unable to escape,
The lyrics of Pendulum's song Slam are an invitation to let go and embrace the power of music. The singer is aware of the limitations of their physical surroundings, comparing themselves to marooned inhabitants on a small island. However, they believe that music can transcend these limitations and "rock civilisation". The idea of "rocking civilisation" is an ambitious one, suggesting a desire to spread the message and energy of the music to the wider world. The lyrics are also suggestive of a defiance, a desire to push against the boundaries imposed on us by our physical environment.
The repeated refrain of "Is this bass really strong enough?" is an interesting one. On the surface, it seems like a simple question about the quality of the sound system. However, it could also be interpreted as a deeper question about our ability to make an impact on the world. Is our music powerful enough to create change? Can it really shake things up and move people to action? This is a question that every artist must grapple with, and it's interesting to see it addressed so directly in the lyrics.
Line by Line Meaning
But tonight,
Despite our limitations and restrictions,
On this small planet,
In our little corner of the universe,
We're going to rock civilisation
We will make an impact that reverberates throughout society.
Is this bass really strong enough?
Does our music have the power to move people and change the world?
We're marooned on a small island, in an endless sea,
We feel trapped and isolated in our mundane lives,
Confined to a tiny spit of sand, unable to escape,
We are stuck in our circumstances and feel powerless to change them,
But tonight, it's heavy stuff
But tonight, we have the ability to make a significant impact and inspire change.

It’s still better produced than 95% plus of DnB coming out today. So ahead of its time it’s actually ridiculous.
