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 express the desire of humans to overcome their limitations and constraints to achieve a greater state of being. The first two lines introduce the idea that humans are small and insignificant on a cosmic scale, yet they have the capability to make an impact on their own planet. The phrase "rock civilisation" suggests a revolutionary or transformative event, possibly a music concert or a political movement. The contrast between the vastness of space and the limited physical space of the island reinforces the idea that humans can transcend their physical limitations through sound and music. The question "Is this bass really strong enough?" indicates the importance and power of music in bringing people together and unifying them.
The third and fourth lines of the lyrics describe the isolation and restriction that humans experience in their own lives. The concept of being "marooned on a small island" reflects the individual's sense of being trapped or helpless, unable to break free from their circumstances. The phrase "unable to escape" reinforces this feeling of hopelessness. However, the last line of the lyrics suggests that there is hope, as the music is described as "heavy stuff". This phrase implies that the power of music can help individuals to break free from their isolation and constraints, allowing them to achieve a fuller and more meaningful existence.
Line by Line Meaning
But tonight,
Despite being trapped on this small island, tonight is an exception.
On this small planet,
We're all on this planet together, but tonight, our focus is on something smaller.
We're going to rock civilisation
Our actions will have a significant impact on society.
Is this bass really strong enough?
We need to make sure the music we're about to create is powerful enough to achieve our goal.
We're marooned on a small island, in an endless sea,
We feel trapped and isolated in our current situation. There doesn't seem to be a way out.
Confined to a tiny spit of sand, unable to escape,
Our physical and emotional limitations prevent us from leaving this situation.
But tonight, it's heavy stuff
Despite feeling trapped, we're ready to create something exceptional with a lot of impact.

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