Band: Pendulum Album: Immersion

Band BIO:

Pendulum is an Australian/British drum and bass group founded in 2002, and has been writing music since. Pendulum was formed in Perth, with Rob Swire, Gareth McGrillen, and Paul Harding. Rob and Gareth also constitute the Electro House duo Knife Party. ( GO check out Knife Party if you love dub step). The group was noticed  for a distinctive sound, mixing hard rock with electronic music, and developing to cover a wider range of genres. Swire and McGrillen were members of the metal band known as Xygen. After hearing Konflict's "Messiah" at a club, they were inspired to enter into the Drum & Bass genre. They founded Pendulum with Paul Harding, who was a veteran DJ in the Drum & Bass scene. In 2003 the band moved to the U.K. Pendulum have since experimented with mixing other genres into their work, as can be heard on In Silico and Immersion. In August 2013, Pendulum's Rob Swire announced that a new album may be released some time next year 2014.

The Review: 

Oh man. Where the hell do I even begin. This album hits so many genres at once, it's amazing. I do have to thank this band. They sort of opened up the world of drum and bass for me. After becoming a fan of this band, I started to browse different d&b artists. They get a big thank you for that. I think how I found these guys was just luck. I was on my many random midnight music searches on YouTube and I found the music video for their song "The Island," I was hooked immediately. I wanted to check out more. Went on iTunes. Clicked by so fast my mouse got click burn. Ok not really, but I needed that album. Listening to "The Island pt. 1," then leading into "the Island pt 2," is a must. They really nailed some amazing art right there. This album has many collaborations with different artists which keep it really fresh. This is certainly an album you need to listen to while working out. You will probably run much faster. It is always on my work out playlist.

It's ok if you want to thank me for this one. It is another album where you just need to listen to the first song through till the last. How often can anyone really say that?  I cannot pick a favorite couple of songs. I really hope you dig this album. Been saving this one.  FIVE OUT OF FIVE SPOTLIGHTS.

It just seems this week, it's been pretty amazing albums so far. Just wait till tomorrow ROCK fans. You'll love this next band I have lined up. Thanks everyone. See ya tomorrow at 12pm!
