Have you seen Verizon’s television commercial for the new Dare phone yet? The 30 second spot features “Mutiny” from UK electro favorites, Pendulum. The band released their album, In Silico, this past May through Atlantic Records and made their live debut on U.S. soil at this year’s Coachella Festival.
Pendulum formed in their home-town of Perth (Western Australia) in 2002, when producers Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen teamed up with acclaimed local DJ Paul ‘Elhornet’ Harding. While their individual formative roots ranged from producing drum & bass, breakbeat and hardcore, to playing in metal and punk bands, their comparable talents proved an unstoppable force when they managed to single-handedly conquer the world of drum & bass in their first 12 months together.
The band is releasing their new single, “The Other Side” on July 28th and is making festival appearances throughout the summer.
