Pendulum is an Australian drum and bass band formed in 2002 by Rob Swire, Gareth McGrillen, and Paul Harding. Their music blends electronic styles with heavy rock, characterized by rapid breakbeats, synthesized basslines, and guitar-driven melodies. Swire's distinctive distorted vocals and the group's innovative fusion of genres have earned them a significant place in the history of electronic music. Notably, their 2005 album "Hold Your Colour" is considered a landmark in the drum and bass genre.
