Underground'dan dünya sahnesine
Pendulum was originally formed as a trio of DJs, with Rob Swire, Gareth McGrillen, and Paul "El Hornet" Harding creating tracks and performing as a DJ project. Later, after their first successful releases, the debut album “Hold Your Colour” (2005) and especially the track “Vault”, Pendulum began to expand and eventually became a sextet. It was this album that took Pendulum to the next level: it entered the charts in the UK and Australia and received critical acclaim.
The next breakthrough came with their second album, “In Silico” (2008), where the band changed their sound by adding more rock elements. The experiment proved successful and won over an international audience. In the following years, Pendulum solidified their place on the global stage: the band not only embarked on international tours, but also headlined major music festivals.

In 2024, the band returned to touring, and the following year released its fourth studio album, “Inertia.”
