Pendulum have announced that they have split up.
The Australian dance rockers released three studio albums in a 10-year career, with their most recent effort 'Immersion' coming out in 2010. They have also been a fixture on the festival circuit in recent years, playing over 30 festivals across Europe last summer.
The band's multi-instrumentalist and main songwriter Rob Swire, who is currently touring with his side-project Knife Party, announced the news, writing on his official Twitter account Twitter.com/rob_swire: "There will be no further Pendulum live shows. There are no current plans for a new album in 2013."
Swire also confirmed that Knife Party was very much his priority in a recent interview with Australian radio station Triple J, saying when asked about the future of Pendulum: "The Knife Party thing is going so well we don't really feel like going back to junior school anytime soon."
He continued: "We're having too much fun with this project. It's also great because Pendulum towards the end sort of felt like we were doing it because we had to and that's never a fun way to do music. Whereas Knife Party is pretty much solely us doing what we want to and if no one likes it we don't care."
It looks as though the name Pendulum will still continue to operate, with members Paul "El Hornet" Harding and Ben "The Verse" Mount continuing to book DJ sets under the band's name.At least, we could still enjoy Knife Party's style, which is greatly influenced by Pendulum. But as I said in the beginning it's such a shame for me... They have really influenced the music I like and I choose them to start "Do you remember" section. It's not worth spending much words talking about them because you can find much more info on the Internet from any I can give you... I'll just post the same track I post in "Do you remember" section and their first released track:
To open "DYR?" I have selected Pendulum. And to be more precise, I have selected the first released Pendulum's song in 2003 which success was the first step to become world-known artist. One decade has past but their sound seems to be unique and exclusive:
