Pendulum is an Australian drum and bass and electronic rock band founded in 2002. Pendulum originally formed in the city of Perth, Western Australia by Rob Swire, Gareth McGrillen, and Paul "El Hornet" Harding. The band was later expanded to include members, Ben Mount, Peredur ap Gwynedd, and KJ Sawka. Members Swire and McGrillen also formed the electro house duo Knife Party.

When Pendulum was formed, their musical style was considerably more drum and bass sounding than the work they were known for later in their career. Signature tunes such as "Masochist", "Vault", "Back 2 You" and "Voyager", which were released on labels such as Uprising Records, 31 Records, Renegade Hardware and Low Profile Records, have a darker, more amelodic air to them which is substantially absent from their later productions. The band's newer work is regarded as generally leaning heavily towards a mainstream, dance-driven sound. Early work such as "Another Planet" seems to indicate an early affinity with a more global sound, similar to other Breakbeat Kaos artists such as DJ Fresh and Adam F.  The group has produced various remixes of other artists also; one of the best-known being the remix of "Voodoo People", originally by The Prodigy. In 2008-2010, they covered/remixed songs including Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song", Linkin Park's "The Catalyst", Calvin Harris's "I'm Not Alone", Coldplay's "Violet Hill", and Metallica's "Master of Puppets". Pendulum's versions of "I'm Not Alone" and "Master Of Puppets" both exist as studio recordings but have not been officially released, and are only previewed during DJ sets. The original live version of "Master of Puppets" was played as an instrumental introduction for "Slam", and was featured on their first live album/DVD. During their American tour as the supporting band for Linkin Park, the song was played in its entirety, with Rob doing vocals. Pendulum have also remixed their own music and, on occasion, television theme songs, such as Australian television's "ABC News Theme" in May 2010. The remix proved to be immensely popular with listeners of Australian youth radio station Triple J, polling at number 11 in the 2010 Triple J Hottest 100 countdown.  Pendulum's musical style consisted of a fusion of drum and bass (along with other electronic genres), alternative rock and heavy metal, with the inclusion of acoustic instruments. This creates a sound reminiscent of electronic rock, albeit with much more prominent drum and bass and, more recently, dubstep influences. Some songs, such as "Slam", "Propane Nightmares" and "Witchcraft" are synth-led, whilst others, such as "Showdown", "The Tempest" and "Comprachicos", are guitar-led. Bassist Gareth McGrillen stated in an interview on Channel 4 that they use 13 computers during the live performances, all of which are mixing the sounds produced by the instruments in real time. Rob Swire stated in issues of TJECK magazine and Rock Sound magazine that he would like to begin producing songs with a punk style to them, which Gareth clarified to mean "A raw, aggressive, less polished method of producing". Pendulum were known to be fans of progressive rock and progressive metal bands, which may have inspired them to fuse multiple genres of music together, which is standard practice in those genres.

What was pendulum's musical style?
Pendulum är ett australiskt trum- och bas- samt elektroniskt rockband grundat 2002. Pendulum bildades ursprungligen i staden Perth, Western Australia av Rob Swire, Gareth McGrillen, och Paul "El Hornet" Harding. Bandet utökades senare till att omfatta medlemmar, Ben Mount, Peredur ap Gwynedd, och KJ Sawka. Medlemmarna Swire och McGrillen bildade också elektrohusduon Knife Party. När Pendulum bildades var deras musikaliska stil betydligt mer trum- och basljudande än det verk de var kända för senare i karriären. Signaturmelodier som "Masochist", "Vault", "Back 2 You" och "Voyager", som gavs ut på bolag som Uprising Records, 31 Records, Renegade Hardware och Low Profile Records, har en mörkare, mer amelodisk luft till dem vilket är väsentligt frånvarande från deras senare produktioner. Bandets nyare verk anses generellt luta kraftigt mot ett mainstream, dansdrivet sound. Tidiga arbeten som "Another Planet" tycks tyda på en tidig affinitet med ett mer globalt sound, liknande andra Breakbeat Kaos-artister som DJ Fresh och Adam F. Gruppen har producerat olika remixer av andra artister också; en av de mest kända är remixen av "Voodoo People", ursprungligen av The Prodigy. 2008–2010 täckte de/remixade låtar bland annat Led Zeppelins "Immigrantsång", Linkin Parks "The Catalyst", Calvin Harriss "I'm Not Alone", Coldplays "Violet Hill", och Metallicas "Master of Puppets". Pendulums versioner av "I'm Not Alone" och "Master Of Puppets" finns båda som studioinspelningar men har inte officiellt släppts, och förhandsgranskas endast under DJ-uppsättningar. Den ursprungliga liveversionen av "Master of Puppets" spelades som en instrumental inledning till "Slam", och figurerade på deras första livealbum/DVD. Under deras amerikanska turné som stödband för Linkin Park spelades låten i sin helhet, med Rob som gjorde sång. Pendulum har även mixat om sin egen musik och vid tillfällen TV-temalåtar, som Australiens TV:s "ABC News Theme" i maj 2010. Remixen visade sig vara oerhört populär bland lyssnare av den australiska ungdomsradiostationen Triple J, röstning på nummer 11 i 2010 års Triple J Hottest 100 nedräkning. Pendulums musikaliska stil bestod av en fusion av trumma och bas (tillsammans med andra elektroniska genrer), alternativ rock och heavy metal, med inkluderande av akustiska instrument. Detta skapar ett sound som påminner om elektronisk rock, om än med mycket mer framträdande trum- och bas och, på senare tid, dubstep-influenser. Vissa låtar, som "Slam", "Propane Nightmares" och "Witchcraft" är synth-ledda, medan andra, som "Showdown", "The Tempest" och "Comprachicos", är gitarr-ledda. Basisten Gareth McGrillen uppgav i en intervju på Channel 4 att de använder 13 datorer under liveframträdandena, som alla blandar de ljud som instrumenten producerar i realtid. Rob Swire uppgav i nummer av tidskriften TJECK och tidningen Rock Sound att han skulle vilja börja producera låtar med en punkstil till dem, vilket Gareth förtydligade för att betyda "En rå, aggressiv, mindre polerad framställningsmetod". Pendulum var kända för att vara fans av progressiva rock- och progressiva metalband, vilket kan ha inspirerat dem att sammansmälta flera genrer av musik tillsammans, vilket är standardpraxis i de genrerna.
